Sans Faceted Ufpu 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Noteworthy' by Gerald Gallo, 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, and 'Venus Envy' by TypeArt Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-driven sans with octagonal, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact counters and squared internal spaces that keep letterforms sturdy at display sizes. The rhythm is tight and mechanical, leaning on verticals and right angles, while angled cuts on terminals and corners add a crisp, engineered profile. Uppercase forms read as emblematic and sign-like, and the lowercase follows the same faceted construction for consistent texture in words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand marks where its angular construction can be a defining visual cue. It also fits packaging, labels, and directional or warning-style graphics that benefit from an assertive, industrial voice.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a retro-tech and athletic edge. Its faceted cuts evoke machinery, scoreboard numerals, and arcade-era lettering, giving text a confident, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a faceted, machined aesthetic, translating sans-serif basics into sharp planar cuts for a distinctive display identity. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent geometric logic over softness or text-face neutrality.
Distinctive chamfers appear consistently on outer corners and some joins, creating a repeated “cut metal” motif. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and punctuation and numerals match the same squared, angular logic for a cohesive set.
