Sans Faceted Abbib 12 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, and 'B52' by Komet & Flicker (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight facets. Strokes are uniform and rectangular, with squared terminals and tight interior counters that keep forms compact and sturdy. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as multi-sided rings, while diagonals in A, K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y are steep and crisp, creating a strong angular rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing a cohesive, sign-like texture across mixed-case text.
Well-suited for sports identities, team and event graphics, bold posters, and punchy headlines where the angular silhouettes can read quickly. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, engineered look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The faceted geometry and dense, sturdy silhouettes convey an athletic, utilitarian tone—confident, tough, and slightly retro. It suggests uniforms, equipment markings, and engineered labeling rather than delicate or expressive handwriting.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of cut metal, stenciled markings, or varsity-inspired display lettering into a clean, consistent geometric system. By standardizing corners into facets and keeping stroke weight steady, it prioritizes impact, clarity, and a distinctive industrial-athletic personality.
In paragraph-like settings the font forms a dark, even typographic color with distinctive polygonal counters that remain legible at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same angular system as the caps, keeping a consistent voice across headings and short text.
