Sans Faceted Orfy 5 is a regular weight, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monolinear sans with squared-off, faceted curves that read as clipped corners and short straight segments in place of rounds. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with crisp terminals, producing a clean, hard-edged silhouette throughout. Counters tend toward rectangular or octagonal forms, and the overall rhythm is tidy and disciplined, with tight letterforms and clear vertical emphasis.
Works well for compact headlines, UI labels, and wayfinding where space is limited and a clean, technical feel is desired. It can also support posters and packaging that benefit from an engineered, geometric aesthetic, especially when set with generous tracking to emphasize the faceted shapes.
The faceted geometry and narrow proportions create a technical, industrial tone that feels engineered and contemporary. Its crisp, planar construction suggests precision and control, leaning toward a slightly futuristic, schematic voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to translate a straightforward sans structure into a sharp, planar vocabulary—replacing curves with controlled facets while keeping a steady stroke and legible proportions. The goal seems to be a modern, space-efficient display voice with a distinctly geometric, constructed personality.
The alphabet shows consistent corner treatments across both uppercase and lowercase, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same clipped, geometric logic, giving data-heavy text a uniform, instrument-like appearance.
