Sans Faceted Afbo 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, 'Wildcat' by K-Type, 'New York Line' by Kustomtype, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging, signage, industrial, athletic, assertive, retro, technical, high impact, space saving, rugged tone, geometric cohesion, angular, octagonal, blocky, condensed, stencil-like.
A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters are squarish and tightly sized, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal contrast for a poster-like solidity. Terminals are blunt and often chamfered, creating an octagonal rhythm across rounds like C, O, and G, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) stay sharp and stable. Spacing reads dense and efficient, emphasizing a stacked, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact matters—headlines, posters, apparel graphics, team or event branding, packaging callouts, and bold wayfinding. It can work for brief labels and UI badges, but the dense, faceted forms are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, hard-edged confidence. Its faceted geometry evokes engineered signage and vintage athletic marking, giving text a tough, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint by using a strictly geometric, chamfered construction. By standardizing angles and minimizing curvature, it aims for a cohesive, rugged display voice that stays legible under heavy weight and tight spacing.
Lowercase forms largely mirror the squared, cut-corner logic of the caps, keeping the system visually uniform. Numerals are similarly angular and compact, maintaining strong legibility through distinct silhouettes and clear internal cut-ins.
