Sans Faceted Akji 1 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hanley Pro' by District 62 Studio, 'Nolan' by Monotype, 'Bloery' by Runsell Type, and 'Loew Next' and 'Loew Next Arabic' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, replacing most curves with chamfered corners and faceted joins. Counters frequently read as octagonal or polygonal shapes (notably in O/0 and other rounded forms), giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered silhouette. Strokes are largely uniform with a sturdy, poster-like color; terminals are typically sheared or notched rather than rounded. Spacing and widths vary by letter, producing a chunky rhythm that feels deliberate and structural rather than optical or calligraphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and on-screen titles where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It can also work for game/UI labeling and event or sports branding where a tough, technical voice is desirable; for longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is mechanical and futuristic, with a rugged, fabricated feel reminiscent of industrial labeling and sci‑fi interface typography. Its faceted geometry reads assertive and utilitarian, leaning toward a game/tech aesthetic rather than neutral text typography.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, manufactured form language—prioritizing bold silhouette, angular consistency, and a distinctive techno-industrial personality for display use.
The design emphasizes crisp angles and internal cut-ins (for example in S, G, and Z), which adds character at display sizes but also creates busy details when set small. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, especially the 0 and 8 with strongly faceted counters.
