Sans Faceted Afbo 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'Molde' by Letritas, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, compact sans with heavily chamfered corners that turn bowls and joints into crisp, octagonal silhouettes. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, producing a strong, poster-like color while keeping counters relatively tight. The caps are tall and narrow with squared terminals and clipped diagonals, and the lowercase echoes the same faceted construction, with single-storey forms and sturdy, vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry—especially the 0/8/9—reading like cut metal rather than drawn curves.
This font is best suited to display typography where punch and immediacy matter: headlines, posters, team or fitness branding, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short bursts of copy or subheads, but the tight counters and dense texture favor larger sizes and generous spacing when set in longer lines.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, athletic energy. Its sharp facets and compressed rhythm feel engineered and utilitarian, leaning toward scoreboard, equipment labeling, and rugged branding aesthetics rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width while maintaining legibility through consistent stroke weight and disciplined geometry. The repeated chamfered cuts suggest a deliberate “machined” look meant to feel durable, sporty, and industrial across letters and figures.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight and curved strokes, giving a coherent stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. Apertures and counters are intentionally conservative, which increases impact at display sizes and creates a compact, forceful texture in lines of text.
