Sans Faceted Mini 5 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'CA No Dr.' by Cape Arcona Type Foundry, 'Level' by District, 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'From the Internet' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and planar facets. Counters are squarish and compact, with consistent stroke weight and a sturdy, poster-like color on the page. The overall fit feels slightly irregular in width from glyph to glyph, while maintaining a disciplined grid logic and strong verticals. Numerals and capitals read especially rigid and architectural, with distinctive octagonal constructions in round forms like O/0/8 and a single-storey, similarly faceted lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as headlines, branding marks, apparel graphics, and packaging where the faceted geometry can be a feature. It also works well for signage-style typography and interface or game-related display text where an engineered, angular voice is desired.
The sharp facets and assertive weight give the face a tough, engineered tone that reads modern and utilitarian. It evokes signage, equipment labeling, and competitive or tactical contexts, with a subtle retro-digital/arcade edge due to the octagonal “no-curves” construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, highly structured sans voice by translating traditional rounded forms into a faceted, chamfered system. This creates a consistent, industrial aesthetic with strong presence and easy recognition in display use.
At text sizes the faceting becomes a defining texture, creating a rhythmic pattern of diagonals at corners and joins. The strong geometry prioritizes impact and clarity over warmth, and the squarer bowls can make long passages feel dense while remaining attention-grabbing in display settings.
