Sans Faceted Abbes 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Isotonic' by Emtype Foundry, 'Plexes Pro' by Monotype, 'Movida' by ROHH, 'Nauman Neue' by The Northern Block, and 'Obvia Narrow' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy, all-angular sans with chamfered corners and faceted inner counters that replace curves with straight segments. Strokes are uniform and geometric, producing a rigid, machined rhythm; rounded letters like O/C/G and numerals adopt octagonal silhouettes and clipped terminals. The lowercase follows the same planar logic with squared bowls and cut-ins, while punctuation and figures read as sturdy, sign-like shapes with clear, simplified construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, and athletic or industrial branding where strong silhouette and high impact are desired. It can also work for signage-style short lines and UI badges when a rugged, geometric character is appropriate.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-and-workshop energy. Its crisp facets and hard corners suggest engineered objects, equipment markings, and retro display lettering rather than soft or lyrical text.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, corner-cut system that feels machined and durable. By standardizing chamfers and straightening curves, it aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact display look that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Diagonal joins in forms like K, X, and V are sharply resolved and emphasize a faceted, welded feel. The generous, consistent stroke weight and simplified counters help maintain punch at a distance, though the angular detailing gives it a distinctive voice that becomes more prominent as size increases.
