Sans Faceted Anwe 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'MVB Embarcadero' by MVB, 'Amfibia' by ROHH, 'Celdum' by The Northern Block, 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio, and 'Crepes' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend to be angular and compact, with squared-off terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal rhythm (notably in bowls and rounded forms). Letterforms are largely monoline in feel, with sturdy horizontals and verticals and minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with single-storey forms and a tall, blocky presence that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of text where the angular silhouettes can shine—posters, branding marks, apparel graphics, packaging, and on-screen titles. It’s particularly effective in contexts that benefit from a rugged, technical tone, such as sports identities, gaming/arcade UI, or industrial-themed signage.
The faceted construction and hard corners give the font a mechanical, no-nonsense voice that feels engineered and sporty. Its bold, cut-metal geometry evokes arcade scoring, team branding, and utilitarian labeling, projecting confidence and impact over softness or elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, highly structured display voice by translating traditional sans forms into a consistent chamfered, faceted system. The goal seems to be maximum impact and a distinctive geometric texture while retaining familiar, readable letter structures.
The design maintains consistent chamfer logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive ‘machined’ silhouette. Wide interior openings in some letters (like E/F/T) contrast with tighter, angular counters in rounded letters (like O/Q/8), adding visual punch while keeping the overall rhythm uniform.
