Sans Faceted Asbo 3 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, short x-height font visually similar to 'FF Tokyo' by FontFont, 'New York Line' by Kustomtype, 'Horesport' by Mightyfire, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Monbloc' by Rui Nogueira (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners. Curves are consistently replaced with planar facets, giving rounds like O, C, and G an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are uniform in thickness with squared terminals and frequent chamfers at joins, producing a crisp, hard-edged texture. Counters are small and angular, and the overall rhythm is tight and space-efficient, reading like a condensed stencil-less block construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, titles, branding marks, and packaging callouts. It also works well for on-screen uses where a bold, angular voice is desired, such as game menus, arcade-inspired graphics, or tech-themed signage.
The faceted geometry and dense weight create a tough, utilitarian tone with a strong retro-digital flavor. It feels mechanical and game-like, projecting energy and impact rather than softness or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint while maintaining a distinctive faceted signature. The systematic chamfering suggests an intention to evoke machined or pixel-adjacent forms and to stay legible under heavy weight through simplified, geometric construction.
The design maintains a very consistent corner treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in all-caps headlines and compact wordmarks. Punctuation and dots appear stout and visually aligned with the heavy stroke weight, supporting high-contrast, poster-style settings.
