Sans Faceted Abnuk 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Heavy Boxing' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes with consistent thickness and crisp chamfered corners. Curves are largely replaced by faceted, octagonal-like turns, creating compact counters and a tight, mechanical rhythm. The letterforms feel squared and sturdy, with hard terminals and a slightly condensed, modular construction that stays visually even across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Digits share the same chiseled geometry, producing a unified, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where impact and strong geometry are assets—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging. It also fits UI titles, game/arcade theming, and sports or industrial-inspired branding where a bold, engineered voice is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-tech edge reminiscent of arcade, sports, and industrial marking systems. Its faceted construction reads as engineered and purposeful rather than friendly, giving words a strong, no-nonsense presence. The crisp angles add a futuristic or game-interface flavor while still feeling grounded and rugged.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, faceted construction into a cohesive sans alphabet that stays consistent across cases and numerals. By favoring chamfered corners over smooth curves, it aims to project durability and technical precision while maintaining a compact, modular look for bold display typography.
Diagonal cuts at corners and joins are a defining motif, giving many glyphs a punched, stenciled-in-metal impression without actual stencil breaks. The lowercase mirrors the cap structure closely, keeping the texture consistent and emphasizing a display-oriented, uniform visual system. In running text the dense counters and sharp joins create a dark, impactful color best suited to larger sizes.
