Sans Faceted Abrek 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Hanley Pro' by District 62 Studio, and 'Panton' by Fontfabric (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with angular, faceted construction throughout. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments with consistent chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters in letters like O and 0 and clipped terminals across the set. Strokes maintain a uniform thickness and a sturdy, square-shouldered skeleton; joins are abrupt and geometric rather than flowing. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic with compact bowls and simplified forms, creating a cohesive, mechanical rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to large-size display use such as sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, and logo lockups where its angular cuts remain clear. It can also work for packaging, signage, and labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial voice and strong silhouette.
The overall tone is tough and sporty, with a workmanlike, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted geometry evokes varsity lettering, industrial labeling, and retro athletic graphics, reading as bold, direct, and engineered rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a consistent system of chamfered corners and planar facets, turning traditionally rounded shapes into crisp geometry. The goal seems to be a durable, high-energy display style that stays legible while projecting strength and grit.
The chamfer motif is applied consistently across diagonals, corners, and counters, giving a uniform “cut metal” feel. Numerals echo the same octagonal logic, and the family-wide geometry makes the font hold together well in all-caps settings and short emphatic phrases.
