Sans Faceted Abbas 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ciutadella' by Emtype Foundry, 'Panton' by Fontfabric, 'Octin College' by Typodermic, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with faceted corners and flattened curves throughout. Stroke weight is consistently thick and even, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. Many round forms are translated into octagonal silhouettes (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), while joins and terminals are cut on diagonals, creating a crisp, machined edge. Counters are small and tightly contained, and the overall fit feels compact with sturdy, squared proportions.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications where impact and personality matter most: sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, merchandise, and bold packaging or labeling. It can also work for UI badges or wayfinding-style callouts when large enough to keep interior counters clear.
The faceted geometry and blunt massing project a tough, no-nonsense tone with strong athletic and industrial overtones. Its angular rhythm reads as utilitarian and punchy, evoking uniforms, equipment labeling, and bold retro display lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force using a consistent, faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts. The goal is a cohesive, hard-edged display voice that stays legible while emphasizing a rugged, engineered aesthetic.
The lowercase follows the same carved, planar logic as the caps, with single-storey a and g and simplified, sturdy apertures that prioritize solidity over delicacy. Numerals echo the same octagonal construction, keeping the set visually unified across letters and figures.
