Sans Faceted Afby 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'New York Line' by Kustomtype, 'Getafe' by Trequartista Studio, 'Yoshida Soft' by TypeUnion, 'Hurdle' by Umka Type, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy, all-caps-forward sans with crisp, chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Strokes are consistently thick and largely monoline, producing sturdy rectangular counters and an octagonal silhouette across rounds like O, C, and G. The design keeps tight interior spaces and short apertures, with squared terminals and occasional angled notches that sharpen joins. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, reading like cut metal plates with firm verticals and flattened curves.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, compact word shape is needed. It fits sports identities, event graphics, and merchandise applications, and can also serve game interfaces or UI labels that benefit from rigid, angular letterforms. For longer passages, it works best in short bursts—pull quotes, section headers, and signage—rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, scoreboard-like energy. Its geometric facets add a mechanical, game-title edge that can feel both retro-digital and contemporary industrial. The weight and compactness project confidence, urgency, and impact rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, faceted construction that echoes stenciled or machined forms. By standardizing thick strokes and turning curves into chamfered planes, it aims for a distinctive, logo-friendly texture that holds up in high-contrast, display-driven contexts.
Uppercase forms are dominant and highly uniform, while lowercase keeps the same hard-edged vocabulary, yielding a cohesive texture in mixed-case settings. Round letters remain legible through consistent chamfering, and punctuation appears minimal but visually robust in the sample text. The dense counters and tight spacing tendencies suggest best performance when given adequate tracking and line spacing at smaller sizes.
