Sans Faceted Buka 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ft Zeux' by Fateh.Lab, 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Crazy Robot' by Sealoung, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace curves. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp, orthogonal joins, giving glyphs a carved, mechanical silhouette. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, with rectangular apertures in letters like A, B, O, and P, and diagonals are used sparingly but decisively (notably in K, V, W, X, and the stepped forms in S and Z). The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with squared terminals and an emphasis on flat horizontals and verticals that keeps word shapes dense and graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, product labels, and bold packaging. It also works well for signage-style applications where a compact, hard-edged look helps text hold its shape at a distance or in high-contrast layouts.
The face reads as tough and utilitarian, with a bold, engineered feel that suggests machinery, signage, and competitive energy. Its faceted cuts add a rugged, tactical edge while maintaining a clean, modern straightforwardness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a faceted, industrial geometry—evoking cut metal or milled forms—while staying legible and consistent across letters and numbers for branding and display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified, all-caps-like construction, so mixed-case text appears deliberately uniform and headline-forward. Numerals follow the same octagonal/chamfered logic, producing a cohesive set suited to prominent, high-contrast display settings.
