Sans Faceted Abbos 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Directory Board JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Octin College' by Typodermic, and 'Brush Maker' and 'Langostions' by UICreative (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Letterforms are compact and squared-off, with broad verticals and horizontals and minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Counters tend toward octagonal or rectangular shapes, and terminals end in clean bevels that create a consistent, machined silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing reads fairly tight in text, giving lines a solid, continuous rhythm suited to short, emphatic settings.
It performs best in display contexts such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and identity marks where its angular construction can read at a glance. The structured, faceted forms also suit interface-style graphics, scoreboards, and on-screen titles, particularly where a technical or futuristic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian, with a futuristic, hardware-forward attitude. Its faceted geometry suggests machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive or tactical aesthetics rather than warmth or informality. The sharp corner treatments add a sense of precision and assertiveness.
The design intent appears to be a geometric, corner-cut sans that evokes machined signage and digital or sci‑fi styling while staying highly legible at larger sizes. By consistently substituting curves with facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive, hard-edged voice that remains systematic across the character set.
Several key shapes lean on iconic, simplified geometry (e.g., squared bowls, chamfered joins, and angular diagonals), which helps maintain a consistent voice across mixed-case and numerals. The digit set continues the same beveled construction, supporting a cohesive display system for codes, labels, and headlines.
