Sans Faceted Abgot 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, faceted joins. The letterforms are largely rectangular and vertical, with squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness that produces a dense, poster-ready color. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O, D, P, and R), and diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are sharply cut rather than rounded. Numerals follow the same octagonal, cut-corner construction, maintaining a uniform, sturdy rhythm across the set.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, sports and team branding, and logo wordmarks where compact width and strong edge geometry help text hold its shape. It can also work for packaging and label-style graphics that benefit from a tough, industrial cadence; longer passages will read best at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an athletic, signage-like presence. Its hard angles and compressed massing evoke varsity lettering, industrial labeling, and retro headline typography where impact and authority matter more than softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a faceted, cut-corner geometry that stays clean and uniform across letters and numerals. By avoiding curves and maintaining sturdy, straight-sided forms, it aims for a confident display voice optimized for attention-grabbing titles and brand marks.
The faceted construction gives curves a polygonal silhouette, which increases edge definition at larger sizes and creates a crisp, mechanical texture in all-caps settings. The lowercase retains the same squared, cut-corner logic, helping mixed-case text keep a consistent, blocky voice rather than shifting into a more calligraphic feel.
