Sans Faceted Anby 7 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Arame' by DMTR.ORG, and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal contours. Counters are compact and often polygonal, giving letters like O, C, G, and Q a faceted, cut-out look. The rhythm is dense and sturdy with squared terminals, broad horizontals, and a generally even stroke presence; diagonals appear clean and disciplined, especially in V, W, X, and Y. Lowercase follows the same angular construction with single-storey forms and simplified joins, maintaining a consistent, modular silhouette across letters and numerals.
This design excels in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, team or event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It also suits UI or display moments that want a rugged, geometric voice—like game titles, badges, labels, and signage—where the faceted silhouettes can be appreciated at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, scoreboard-like energy and a hint of retro arcade signage. Its sharp facets and blunt massing feel mechanical and confident, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a hard-edged, machined aesthetic into a straightforward sans structure, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent faceted motif. The design aims for immediate presence and a distinctive angular signature that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
At larger sizes the faceting becomes a defining texture, creating a distinctive ‘cut’ edge around bowls and corners. In longer text, the compact apertures and dense black shapes can read as forceful and attention-grabbing rather than airy.
