Sans Faceted Abgud 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Midsole' by Grype, 'Herchey' by Ilham Herry, and 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with sharp, planar chamfers that replace curves and create an octagonal, faceted silhouette across rounds and joints. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight apertures and short counters, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with squared terminals, clipped corners, and a slightly mechanical spacing that emphasizes solidity over softness. Numerals and round letters lean strongly into geometric facets, giving the set a consistent, engineered texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, wordmarks, apparel graphics, and packaging callouts where the angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits signage and label-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, industrial presence, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is rugged and assertive, evoking industrial signage, athletic numbering, and utilitarian labeling. Its chiseled geometry reads as purposeful and no-nonsense, with a retro-tech edge that feels bold and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch with a distinctive faceted geometry, offering a compact, workmanlike sans that feels engineered and emblematic. It prioritizes bold legibility and a strong silhouette, using consistent chamfering to create a cohesive, branded texture.
Faceting is especially prominent in the rounded forms, where inner and outer corners create a segmented, cut-metal impression. The strong, dark color can close up at small sizes, while at larger sizes the angular construction becomes a defining graphic feature.
