Sans Faceted Abgud 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'React BTL' by BoxTube Labs, 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'RBNo2.1' by René Bieder, and 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging, signage, athletic, industrial, poster, retro, impact, condensation, toughness, geometric stylization, octagonal, blocky, angular, chamfered, monolinear.
A compact, heavy block letterform with consistent stroke weight and sharp, chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Counters are small and largely rectangular or octagonal, producing a dense color and strong vertical rhythm. Uppercase proportions are tall and condensed with squared terminals, while the lowercase follows the same faceted construction and stays sturdy at the joins. Numerals echo the octagonal theme, with straight-sided bowls and clipped corners that maintain a uniform, sign-like silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or athletic branding, and bold packaging panels. It can also work for punchy signage and labels where a compact, forceful look is desired, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone feels assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, no-nonsense presence. Its angular geometry and dense texture evoke varsity and workwear lettering, leaning toward a tough, mechanical attitude rather than a friendly or refined one.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans with a distinctive faceted construction that stays sturdy under heavy weight. The clipped-corner geometry suggests an intention to reference athletic and industrial lettering traditions while remaining clean and contemporary.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, giving the font a cohesive, stencil-free construction with hard-edged precision. Tight apertures and strong vertical stems make it most striking at larger sizes where the corner cuts and interior shapes read clearly.
