Sans Faceted Asdy 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Klint' by Linotype, 'Jesaya' by Typodermic, and 'Geon' and 'Geon Soft' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered facets. Forms are predominantly rectangular with squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness, creating a dense, poster-ready color. Counters are small and geometric, and many glyphs show octagonal or notched inner shapes that reinforce the cut, planar construction. Capitals feel boxy and architectural, while the lowercase echoes the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and short apertures, producing a sturdy, uniform rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, team or event graphics, and bold identity marks. It can also work for packaging and labels where a rugged, engineered feel is desired, especially when set large for maximum legibility.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, workmanlike confidence. Its hard-edged geometry suggests signage, equipment labeling, and vintage athletic graphics, giving copy an energetic, no-nonsense punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact proportions and faceted construction, offering a geometric alternative to rounded heavy sans styles. Its clipped corners and simplified counters aim to evoke strength and utility while staying visually consistent across a full basic Latin set and numerals.
The tight interior spaces and strong vertical emphasis make the face read best when given room to breathe; larger sizes and slightly increased tracking help preserve clarity in dense text. The numerals and capitals share the same chamfer language, supporting cohesive headline systems across letters and numbers.
