Sans Faceted Afbo 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Headline Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, 'Duotone' by Match & Kerosene, and 'Denso' by Stefano Giliberti (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners that replace curves with crisp planar facets. The shapes feel tall and compressed, with squared counters and octagonal rounds (notably in O/0 and C/G), producing a rigid, mechanical rhythm. Stroke endings are flat and abrupt, and diagonals are used sparingly but decisively, giving letters a carved, stenciled-adjacent presence without obvious breaks. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with tight apertures and sturdy joints that keep the texture dense in words.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event promotions, and punchy marketing copy. It also fits sports branding, team or club marks, rugged product packaging, and bold labels where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its faceted construction suggests engineered surfaces—like cut metal or machined signage—while the condensed proportions add urgency and impact. It reads as bold, assertive, and slightly retro, evoking team branding and utilitarian labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width by combining a condensed build with chiseled, planar shaping. By translating curves into clipped corners, it aims for a hard-edged, engineered look that stays consistent across letters and figures for strong, uniform word shapes.
The font’s squared counters and narrow apertures create a dark, high-contrast text color, especially in longer lines. Numerals match the caps in stance and faceting, with strong verticals and clipped corners that maintain consistency across alphanumerics.
