Sans Faceted Typa 2 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'URW Dock Condensed' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with crisp planar facets. The overall silhouette is compact and sturdy, with squared shoulders, flat terminals, and rounded behavior only where it’s implied by chamfers. Counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes (notably in O/0 and D), and the joins are hard and mechanical, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Lowercase forms are simple and pragmatic, with a single-storey a and g and a boxy, vertical-forward construction that keeps texture dense and even in paragraph settings.
It suits bold display applications where a hard-edged, geometric voice is desirable—such as headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, product marks, and industrial or wayfinding-style signage. In short paragraphs it creates a dense, structured texture that works well for impactful statements and labels rather than delicate editorial reading.
The tone is functional and assertive, reading as technical and equipment-like rather than friendly or expressive. Its faceted geometry suggests machinery, signage, and performance branding, giving text a confident, no-nonsense presence with a slightly futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans structure into a faceted, fabricated aesthetic, using chamfered corners and straight segments to evoke precision and durability. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent modular construction for high-impact identification and branding contexts.
Caps are strongly geometric with a wide stance and prominent chamfers; the lowercase maintains similar angular logic, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same clipped-corner system, reinforcing a consistent, modular look that stays recognizable at display sizes.
