Sans Faceted Abmap 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ITC Machine' by ITC, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Headlines' by TypeThis!Studio, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, rectilinear forms with sharp chamfered corners that replace most curves. Strokes are consistently heavy, producing strong black shapes and a sturdy, poster-like texture. Counters are tight and often squared-off, with angular bowls and clipped terminals giving letters a faceted, almost stencil-less machined look. The rhythm is dense and vertical, and the numerals follow the same octagonal construction for a cohesive, hard-edged set.
Best suited to high-impact display settings where dense, heavy letterforms are an advantage—headlines, sports identities, event posters, and bold packaging. It can also work for short labels, badges, and merchandise-style graphics where an assertive, industrial presence is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an athletic, workwear energy. Its angular geometry reads as tough and no-nonsense, suggesting strength, speed, and industrial solidity rather than refinement or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint while maintaining strong legibility at display sizes. By translating rounded structures into planar cuts and chamfers, it aims for a cohesive, hard-edged aesthetic that feels engineered and athletic.
The faceting is applied systematically across rounds (like O, C, G, 0, 8) and at joins, creating a consistent “cut metal” silhouette. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase construction closely, keeping the same square counters and clipped corners for a uniform voice across case.
