Sans Faceted Abnis 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, 'Chamferwood JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, and 'Radley' by Variatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted corners and flattened curves, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette across rounds and bowls. Strokes are largely uniform, with abrupt diagonal cuts and small notches that create a slightly stencil-like, segmented rhythm in letters such as S, Z, and the numerals. Counters are tight and geometric; joins are crisp and mostly straight, and terminals tend to end in angled planes rather than smooth arcs. Overall spacing reads dense and robust, with a consistent, engineered geometry that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and product titling where the angular construction can read clearly at larger sizes. It also fits sports identities and gaming/tech interface moments where an assertive, geometric texture is desirable; extended small text may feel dense due to tight counters and strong black shapes.
The face projects a hard-edged, technical energy—confident, forceful, and a bit game-like. Its faceting and compact massing suggest speed, toughness, and a constructed, mechanical mood rather than anything friendly or organic.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar system that replaces curves with chamfered cuts, yielding a rugged, industrial display voice. Consistency of angles across letters and numerals suggests a focus on a unified, engineered aesthetic that remains legible while looking intentionally mechanical.
Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic for cohesion. Numerals follow the same octagonal construction, with the 0 and 8 reading like cut-metal shapes; the 1 is a simple vertical, reinforcing the utilitarian tone.
