Spiked stems and terminals cut at an angle give Abel its edge at display sizes. Matthew Desmond of MADType drew it as a modern version of the condensed, flat-sided sans that once filled newspaper headlines and posters, and he meant it for web text as well, where its single even weight holds up small.
It is narrow, noticeably so, which makes it handy in a sidebar or a news ticker.
