Sans Faceted Afvy 12 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Pen Nib Square JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Fremont Coffee' by Komet & Flicker, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy all-caps–friendly sans with squared, faceted construction and clipped corners that replace curves with short diagonals. Strokes are consistently thick with flat terminals, tight counters, and a strong vertical emphasis, producing a firm, engineered rhythm. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as octagonal forms, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are steep and sturdy rather than delicate. Lowercase echoes the same modular geometry, with single-storey a and g, and generally short extenders that keep the texture dense.
Best suited to bold titling where strong silhouettes matter: posters, team or event branding, sports and streetwear graphics, packaging callouts, and punchy UI labels. It also fits directional or informational signage that benefits from rigid geometry, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, suggesting signage, uniforms, and equipment markings. Its angular facets and compressed stance give it a tough, no-nonsense personality with a hint of vintage athletic and arcade-like energy. The texture feels loud and declarative, optimized for impact rather than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, machined aesthetic into a condensed display voice, using chamfered corners and polygonal rounds to maintain uniform weight and a consistent, stencil-like toughness without actual breaks. It prioritizes instant recognition and a cohesive, industrial rhythm across letters and figures.
The faceting creates distinctive inside corners and small apertures that can visually close up at smaller sizes, while the crisp silhouettes stay clear in headline settings. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with a squared 0 and a compact, geometric 8, reinforcing a cohesive, label-like system.
