Sans Contrasted Pujo 5 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Entuista' by Azzam Ridhamalik, 'Odradeck' by Harvester Type, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes, and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-friendly display sans with heavy vertical stress, squared shoulders, and sharply cut internal corners. Strokes are extremely thick with purposeful notches and slit-like counters that create a stamped, cut-out impression, while joins stay crisp and geometric rather than rounded. Curves are tightened into near-rectangular bowls, and many terminals end in flat, planar cuts that keep the silhouette rigid and poster-like. Spacing appears compact, producing a dense texture that holds together strongly at headline sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks where density and impact are desired. It can work well for signage and packaging that benefits from an industrial or retro display look, especially in short bursts of text and high-contrast layouts.
The font projects a bold, industrial confidence with a retro poster sensibility. Its cut-in details and compressed stance evoke utilitarian signage and mechanical labeling, giving it an assertive, no-nonsense voice. The overall tone leans dramatic and commanding rather than friendly or conversational.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that combines condensed geometry with recurring cut-in details to create a tough, engineered presence. Its consistent, rigid construction suggests it was drawn to read as bold and iconic in large sizes, with decorative notches adding a distinctive identity without relying on serifs.
The distinctive notch and slit motifs recur across letters and numerals, helping maintain visual consistency while adding character. The condensed proportions and small apertures make the design feel most comfortable when set large, where its internal cutouts remain clear.
