Sans Faceted Anby 2 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Arame' by DMTR.ORG, 'Morgan' by Krafted, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Bananku' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, faceted display sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and frequent chamfered corners, producing an octagonal silhouette in bowls and rounds. Letterforms are compact and blocky with squared terminals and minimal curvature, relying on angled cuts to suggest counters and joins. The rhythm is mechanical and modular, with wide internal counters in forms like O, D, and 8, and simplified, angular diagonals in K, V, W, and X. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, mixing single-storey, geometric forms and short ascenders/descenders for a dense, uniform texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, packaging callouts, and game/tech interface titling where the faceted geometry can read clearly. It can also work for badges, labels, and display numerals when a tough, machined look is desired.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and engineered—assertive, rugged, and slightly retro-digital. The sharp facets and stencil-like geometry evoke equipment labeling, scoreboard numerals, and arcade-era interfaces, giving text a tough, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined surface language into a compact display alphabet—replacing curves with planar cuts to achieve a durable, industrial voice while staying highly legible at headline sizes.
Distinctive angled notches and clipped corners are used consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design hold its character at large sizes. The figures are particularly sign-like, with 0 rendered as a faceted ring and 1 as a simple vertical with a small angled cap, reinforcing the industrial system aesthetic.
