Sans Faceted Buki 5 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gulkit Miski' by Denustudio, 'Ft Zeux' by Fateh.Lab, 'Goblock' by Grontype, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp, planar facets. Counters are small and often rectangular, producing dense, high-contrast silhouettes with a consistent stroke presence and minimal modulation. Terminals tend to be squared-off or chamfered, and many forms read as octagonal or cut-metal shapes; rounded letters like O, C, and S are constructed from angled segments rather than smooth bowls. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with simplified, geometric joins and sturdy punctuation-like dots.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as posters, punchy headlines, badges, esports or sports branding, and game/arcade-themed interfaces. It also works well for short labels and packaging where a tough, engineered texture is desired, while long text is better kept to limited runs due to its dense forms.
The faceted geometry and tight, heavy rhythm give the type a tough, mechanical energy—part scoreboard, part arcade cabinet. It feels assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-tech flavor that reads as bold, competitive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of machined lettering into a clean digital style, using chamfered corners and planar construction to create impact without relying on curves or decorative add-ons. Its emphasis on compact, sturdy shapes suggests a focus on bold recognition in titles and marks rather than comfortable extended reading.
The font’s visual strength comes from its disciplined corner language: repeated chamfers and notched joins create a cohesive, manufactured look. Narrow apertures and compact counters can reduce legibility at small sizes, but they reinforce the strong, emblematic character at display scales.
