Sans Faceted Abgul 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, 'Malberg' by Eko Bimantara, 'Midsole' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'EFCO Colburn' by Ilham Herry, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Probeta' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from hard-edged, planar strokes with clipped corners and polygonal counters that substitute facets for curves. Stems are heavy and uniform, with tight apertures and squared terminals that create a compact, solid silhouette. Capitals read as monolithic blocks (notably the octagonal-style O and the cut-in corners on C/S), while the lowercase continues the same geometric language with short extenders and simplified bowls. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, producing an even, cohesive texture in both display lines and short words.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and logo-style wordmarks where its dense, faceted shapes can carry strong visual authority. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, labels, and packaging that benefit from a bold, industrial voice. For longer passages, it will work more comfortably with generous size and spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a sports and signage energy driven by its blocklike mass and chiseled corners. Its faceted construction suggests machinery, metalwork, and no-nonsense authority rather than softness or elegance. The rhythm is punchy and attention-grabbing, lending a slightly retro, team-mark sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, angular forms that read like cut metal or stenciled blocks. By replacing curves with controlled chamfers, it aims for a distinctive, high-energy display texture that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Inner spaces are often small and angular, so the strongest impact comes at medium-to-large sizes where the corner cuts and counters remain clearly legible. The design keeps a consistent facet logic across letters and numbers, giving text a distinctive, stamped or cut-out appearance.
