Sans Faceted Afny 2 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'Interval Next' by Mostardesign, and 'Probeta' by deFharo (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are small and often polygonal, giving letters like O and Q an octagonal, cut-out feel. Terminals tend to end in sharp, angled cuts, and several joins show notched or stepped construction that reads slightly stencil-like. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, with simplified geometry and occasional asymmetries that enhance a mechanical, constructed look.
Best used for short, high-visibility copy such as posters, headlines, title cards, album art, and logo/wordmark work where its angular construction can read clearly. It also fits themed graphics like arcade, tech, or industrial branding, and can add impact to packaging or signage when set large with generous tracking.
The faceted silhouettes and hard angles convey a tough, engineered tone that feels industrial and game-like at once. Its sharp cuts and chunky forms suggest retro arcade lettering, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact street or music graphics. The texture is assertive and slightly abrasive, prioritizing attitude and immediacy over refinement.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans skeleton into a faceted, polygonal system with consistent straight-stroke construction. By minimizing curves and emphasizing clipped terminals and compact counters, it aims to deliver a distinctive, hard-edged display voice that feels built, technical, and immediately attention-grabbing.
Numerals and capitals share the same polygonal logic, producing a cohesive, emblematic set of shapes suited to large sizes. Some glyphs incorporate distinctive internal cutouts and hooked descenders (notably in g, y, and j), adding character while maintaining the overall rigid geometry. The dense fill and small counters can close up at small sizes or in low-contrast reproduction.
