Sans Faceted Asfi 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Mexiland' by Grezline Studio, 'Home Room JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Volcano' by Match & Kerosene (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular sans with faceted corners and clipped curves that read as octagonal and machined rather than round. Strokes are consistently thick with compact interior counters, producing strong silhouettes and dark texture in lines of text. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared, with occasional wedge-like notches and chiseled joins that create a hard-edged rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height and simplified construction for blocky, uniform word shapes. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic and appear designed to match the caps’ mass and footprint.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, signage, and punchy branding where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can work well for sports or esports identities, tech-themed packaging, and strong UI labels or section headers, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, suggesting engineered surfaces, machinery, and competitive energy. Its sharp facets and dense color give it a modern, no-nonsense voice that can also skew retro-digital depending on context. In longer lines it feels intense and attention-seeking, prioritizing impact over softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a hard, planar aesthetic—substituting smooth curves with chiseled facets to evoke a fabricated, industrial feel while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible at display scale.
Tight counters and deep ink traps/notches can create a distinctive texture at display sizes, but small sizes may feel cramped where inner shapes pinch. The faceting is consistent across the set, which helps maintain coherence in headlines and short bursts of copy.
