Sans Faceted Abres 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Poster Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Military Jr34' by Casloop Studio, 'Camore' by Maulana Creative, and 'Frygia' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with octagonal construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and consistent chamfered corners, producing a crisp faceted silhouette. Strokes are uniform and dense, with generally squared counters and a compact, tightly packed feel in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with minimal curvature and strong terminals; the numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive, signage-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the faceted shapes can read decisively—posters, sports and team-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It also works well for labels, badges, and number-forward applications where the octagonal numerals and sturdy forms reinforce a tough, industrial message.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, institutional character that reads as durable and utilitarian. Its faceted geometry adds a mechanical, engineered edge that feels retro in the way of varsity and equipment labeling rather than playful display.
The design appears intended to translate a varsity/industrial sensibility into a clean, geometric system, using chamfered corners and planar cuts to maintain clarity and impact without relying on curves or decorative details. Its consistent, modular construction suggests an emphasis on reproducible shapes for bold display settings.
The angular joins and clipped corners create clear edges and strong patterning at large sizes, while the tight interior spaces and dense weight can make long passages feel heavy. The design stays consistent across letters and figures, emphasizing a uniform, stenciled-by-geometry look without visible contrast shifts.
