Sans Faceted Ashe 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Broadside' by Device, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, and '946 Latin' by Roman Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, compact silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are squared and tightened, and joins resolve into crisp angles rather than smooth curves, giving letters a machined, cut-from-plate feel. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction, with simple, robust forms and a single-story a; numerals echo the same clipped-corner geometry.
Best suited to display settings where impact and durability matter: sports branding, team and event headlines, posters, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a tough, geometric voice is desired, but the tight counters and dense shapes favor larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic and industrial edge. Its faceted geometry reads as utilitarian and rugged, evoking varsity and equipment-marking aesthetics rather than refinement or softness.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch with a consistent faceted construction, translating rounded forms into clipped planes for a strong, uniform texture. The aim is legibility through mass and geometry, projecting strength and a sporty-industrial personality across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on consistent corner clipping and straight-edged segments to suggest curves, which creates a rhythmic, stenciled-by-geometry texture in longer lines. The punctuation and internal apertures appear deliberately minimized to preserve solidity at display sizes.
