Sans Faceted Mino 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, 'Celdum' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, creating octagonal bowls and clipped terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp, planar joins, giving the outlines a machined, cut-from-metal feel. Proportions read as compact and sturdy, with squarish counters, short apertures, and a generally rectangular rhythm across capitals and numerals. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, with simple, single-storey forms and hard-edged punctuation-like details such as square dots and firm baseline stops.
Best suited to titles, branding, and short bursts of text where the angular faceting can be a defining visual motif. It works well for team marks, esports/gaming interfaces, product labeling, and posters that benefit from a rugged, technical texture. For longer reading, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the faceted details remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered—more utilitarian than friendly—evoking hardware labeling, sports numbering, and retro-digital display aesthetics. Its faceting adds a sense of speed and toughness, projecting a disciplined, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate a modern sans into a faceted, chamfered system that mimics manufactured signage and display lettering. By systematically replacing curves with planar cuts, it aims to deliver a robust, high-impact look with strong geometric consistency across letters and numerals.
The octagonal treatment is especially noticeable in round letters and figures, which maintain consistent corner cuts for strong stylistic cohesion. The texture in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, with minimal softness or calligraphic modulation.
