Sans Faceted Ofgy 5 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grota Sans' and 'Grota Sans Rounded' by Latinotype and 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes with consistently chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Rounds (O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) read as octagonal forms, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean, creating a disciplined, engineered rhythm. Proportions are compact and pragmatic, with squared terminals, clear counters, and a utilitarian spacing that keeps text blocky and even in texture.
It suits applications that benefit from crisp, high-contrast geometry: interface labels, dashboards, and technical diagrams, as well as signage and wayfinding where the angular silhouettes stay distinct. At larger sizes it works well for posters, packaging, and brand marks that want an industrial or retro-tech edge.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a subtle retro-digital flavor reminiscent of stenciled hardware markings and early computer or arcade-era display lettering. The faceted geometry adds a purposeful, machine-made character that reads as precise rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans letterforms into a consistently faceted system, prioritizing uniform stroke behavior and corner logic over smooth curvature. The goal is a sturdy, machine-like voice that remains legible while projecting a technical, engineered personality.
Lowercase forms lean toward simple, constructed shapes with angular joins and minimal modulation, helping maintain consistency between cases. Numerals echo the same faceted logic, with the 0 and 8 especially showcasing the octagonal construction and the 2/3/5 using sharp corner breaks instead of curves.
