Sans Faceted Abgut 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Neuron Angled' by Corradine Fonts, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'JAF Facit' by Just Another Foundry, 'Azbuka' by Monotype, and 'PF Square Sans Condensed Pro' by Parachute (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are consistently thick with low modulation, and corners are clipped into angled terminals that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette across bowls and joints. The overall construction is upright and compact, with squared counters and notched joins that keep shapes rigid and graphic. Lowercase follows the same faceted logic with sturdy stems and simplified forms, while figures are bold and block-like for strong presence in short strings.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short, bold messaging where the angular silhouette can be appreciated. It also fits sports identities, gaming/arcade themed graphics, event posters, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, high-impact voice.
The font projects a tough, engineered tone—like cut steel, armor plating, or machinery panels. Its sharp facets and blunt massing feel sporty and forceful, with a distinctly retro-digital energy that reads as game-like and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate traditional sans structures into a hard-edged, faceted system that feels machined and contemporary-retro. By replacing curves with clipped planes and keeping stroke weight robust, it aims for maximum visual punch and an instantly recognizable, industrial character.
Spacing appears intentionally sturdy and display-oriented, with large black areas and relatively small counters that prioritize impact over delicacy. The faceting introduces a rhythmic zig-zag texture along curves, producing a distinctive silhouette at larger sizes and a dense, poster-like color in paragraphs.
