Sans Faceted Abmap 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Angulosa M.8' by Ingo, and 'Avilock' by Namara Creative Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from sharp, planar facets instead of curves. Corners are aggressively chamfered, creating octagonal-like terminals and a carved, geometric silhouette. Strokes stay visually uniform, counters are tight and mostly rectilinear, and joins form pointed interior angles that add bite to letters like M, N, W, and X. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with compact bowls and minimal modulation, keeping a dense, vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and bold branding moments. It can work well for signage and packaging where an industrial or assertive voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted cuts remain legible.
The face projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a hard-edged, fabricated feel. Its faceted geometry reads as engineered and imposing, evoking signage, machinery, and bold retro display aesthetics rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight footprint while creating a distinctive, faceted texture. By replacing curves with planar cuts, it aims to feel machined and graphic, providing a strong display presence with a consistent constructed system across letters and numerals.
The strongest visual signature is the consistent chamfering on outer corners and the squared, notched treatment of many terminals, which helps maintain clarity at large sizes while emphasizing a cut-metal personality. Numerals match the same blocky construction, with angular openings and compact counters that prioritize impact over delicacy.
