Sans Faceted Ippa 5 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Directory Board JNL' by Jeff Levine and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a predominantly squared construction softened by generous corner rounding. Curves are rendered as short planar segments, creating faceted bowls and shoulders that read as angular yet smooth at the edges. Counters tend toward rectangular or squarish shapes, terminals are blunt, and several joins show subtle breaks or notch-like transitions that add a slightly engineered, stencil-adjacent feel. Uppercase forms are wide enough to stay legible despite the condensed set, while the lowercase keeps a tidy, modular rhythm with simple single-storey forms.
Best suited to interface titling, control-panel style labels, wayfinding/signage, and punchy poster or packaging headlines where a compact footprint and strong geometric texture are desirable. It can also work for short blocks of text in tech-forward branding, especially when generous tracking is used to emphasize its modular rhythm.
The overall tone is techno and industrial, with a controlled, machine-made personality. Its faceted rounding and squarish counters evoke retro digital interfaces and sci‑fi labeling, balancing friendliness from the softened corners with a pragmatic, utilitarian edge.
Designed to translate geometric, squared forms into a bold, compact sans that feels engineered and contemporary. The faceted treatment of curves and consistent rounded corners suggest an intention to echo digital-era industrial lettering while preserving clarity and repeatable structure across the set.
The numerals follow the same squarish, rounded, faceted logic, with clear differentiation and consistent stroke weight. The face maintains strong presence at display sizes, where the planar curvature and notch details become a defining texture.
