Sans Faceted Bena 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'FF World' by FontFont, and 'Architype Aubette' by The Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted planes. Counters tend toward squarish/rectangular forms, and terminals are blunt with consistent edge treatment that creates a cut-metal, machined feel. The rhythm is compact and sturdy, with broad strokes, tight apertures, and a slightly modular construction that keeps forms uniform while allowing a few glyph-specific width shifts for fit and balance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and title cards where the angular facets can be appreciated. It also fits interface graphics for games, tech-themed layouts, and bold labeling on packaging or equipment-inspired designs.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking hardware labeling, arcade-era graphics, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its faceted geometry reads as tough and engineered, lending a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice with a distinctly retro-tech edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted construction—capturing a machined, polygonal aesthetic that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its geometry prioritizes visual strength and a distinctive edge over softness or calligraphic nuance.
At larger sizes the bevel-like corner cuts become a defining texture, creating a repeating angular motif across words and lines. In smaller settings the tight apertures and dense silhouettes may emphasize the font’s bold, emblematic character more than fine detail.
