Sans Faceted Afva 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Apercu Condensed' by Colophon Foundry, and 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses crisp, planar facets to build letterforms with minimal curvature, producing a chiseled, hard-edged silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners cut into small angled planes that create a consistent “beveled” rhythm across straight and curved structures alike. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with tight counters and squared-off terminals; round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as multi-sided forms rather than true ovals. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with simple, single-storey constructions where applicable and short extenders that keep lines feeling dense and controlled.
Best suited for display settings where strong silhouettes and compact spacing help text hold its shape: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short signage. It can also work for subheads or callouts when you want a rigid, industrial voice, but the dense faceting and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, like lettering cut from metal or assembled from rigid panels. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-industrial flavor that feels energetic and slightly aggressive, making the texture read as bold and attention-grabbing even at moderate sizes.
The likely intent is to offer a bold, space-efficient display face that replaces curves with sharp facets for a constructed, machined look. Its consistent bevel-like cuts and uniform weight appear designed to deliver immediate impact and a distinctive geometric texture in branding and promotional typography.
The design maintains a coherent facet logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving a uniform, engineered texture. Numerals follow the same angular treatment, with segmented curves and strong top/bottom planes that help them match the caps in color and presence.
