Sans Faceted Pape 5 is a light, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'PNA Spatio Mono' by Prominent and Affluent (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing bowls and curves with planar facets and squared-off arcs. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with crisp joins and a disciplined, gridlike rhythm; counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes. Terminals are mostly flat, and many glyphs show chamfered or notched details that emphasize a constructed, modular feel. Lowercase forms remain simple and schematic, with single-story structures and compact, rectilinear apertures.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, device screens, and other structured layouts where a technical voice and consistent spacing help alignment. It also suits titles, data overlays, wayfinding, and packaging details that benefit from an engineered, sci‑fi aesthetic, especially at small-to-medium sizes where the clean construction stays clear.
The overall tone is technical and futuristic, evoking display typography seen in digital interfaces, engineering labels, and sci‑fi-oriented graphics. Its angularity and measured spacing read as precise and machine-made rather than humanist or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate a monoline sans into a faceted, polygonal system—prioritizing regularity, alignment, and a digitally constructed personality. Its chamfered corners and geometric counters suggest a focus on contemporary tech styling and systematic display typography.
Several letterforms lean into distinctive, cut-away geometry (for example in diagonals and inner corners), which enhances character but can reduce softness in continuous reading. The numerals follow the same faceted logic, keeping a consistent, blueprint-like coherence across the set.
