Sans Faceted Abmeh 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kanal' by Identikal Collection, 'Behover' by Martype co, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Kanal' by T-26, and 'ARB 66 Neon' and 'FTY Konkrete' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Forms are largely monoline with rectangular counters and consistent, squared terminals, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase closely echoes the uppercase construction, with compact bowls, tight apertures, and short, angular joins; numerals follow the same geometric logic for a uniform, sign-like texture.
Best suited for impactful headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a compact, high-contrast silhouette is useful. It also works well for signage or labels needing a rugged, mechanical feel, especially when set large enough to preserve the internal counters.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a retro, industrial edge. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance evoke machinery, stenciled labeling, and bold headline lettering rather than soft or conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting a precise, engineered personality. By systematically faceting curves into straight segments, it creates a distinctive, modular look that stays consistent across letters and figures.
The face maintains a highly consistent facet pattern across rounds (C, O, Q, 0) and diagonals (K, V, W, X), which helps it hold together as a cohesive system. The dense interior spaces and narrow apertures make it most convincing at larger sizes where its distinctive cut corners and rectangular counters read clearly.
