Sans Faceted Abrik 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cosan' by Adtypo; 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts; 'Inicia' by Storm Type Foundry; and 'Celdum', 'Metral', and 'Oyko' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward geometric sans with sharply faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters and chamfered terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the overall color is dense and compact. Forms are built from sturdy verticals and horizontals with diagonal cuts at joins and corners; bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0) read as polygonal shapes. Lowercase follows the same modular logic with simplified, blocky silhouettes and short, squared extenders, maintaining a consistent, machined rhythm across letters and numerals.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage where its faceted silhouettes can read clearly. It can also work for labels, UI headings, and badge-style graphics when a rugged, engineered feel is desired.
The faceted geometry and blunt massing give the typeface an industrial, athletic tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro-tech. Its sharp corner cuts suggest engineered signage and team marking rather than soft editorial expression, emphasizing impact and functionality.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans into a chiseled, planar system where every curve is rationalized into straight facets. The goal is strong presence and quick recognition, pairing a compact, block-built structure with a consistent chamfered motif for a distinctly mechanical voice.
The sample text shows strong word-shape stability at display sizes, with distinctive polygonal counters aiding recognition. Numerals match the uppercase styling closely, reinforcing a cohesive, stencil-like impression without actual breaks in the strokes.
