Sans Faceted Mibi 5 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Vito' by Dots&Stripes Type, 'Mercurial' by Grype, and 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with short planar facets. Letterforms are compact and sturdy with a squared-off, octagonal rhythm (notably in O/0 and other rounded shapes), and terminals tend to be cut at angles rather than rounded. The monoline construction and large counters keep shapes clear, while the overall texture is dense and headline-forward, with simple, no-nonsense punctuation and numerals that match the same faceted logic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, and brand marks where its faceted silhouette can do the work. It’s particularly effective for sports branding, event graphics, wayfinding, and bold labels where an industrial, rugged tone is desirable and sizes are large enough to showcase the corner cuts.
The faceted geometry and hard corners give the font a tough, engineered feel—equal parts industrial and competitive. It reads as sporty and scoreboard-adjacent, with an arcade/retro-digital edge that suggests machinery, uniforms, and signage rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate the look of beveled or machined lettering into a clean, single-stroke weight, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent angular detailing. By turning curves into facets, it creates a distinctive, reproducible style that stays legible while projecting toughness and precision.
Uppercase forms lean on straight-sided architecture and truncated diagonals, producing a consistent octagonal motif across the set. Lowercase follows the same angular approach, keeping bowls and shoulders squared and clipped to maintain a unified, mechanical voice.
