Sans Faceted Elra 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Flintstock' by Hustle Supply Co, 'Enamela' by K-Type, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with sharply faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are monolinear and chunky, with consistent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal look across rounds and terminals. The forms are compact with sturdy horizontals and diagonals, producing a tight rhythm and strong silhouette; counters tend to be small and geometric, and the numerals follow the same clipped, planar logic. Overall spacing reads purposeful rather than airy, emphasizing impact and solidity in display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where a bold, fast visual voice is needed—team or sports identities, event and poster headlines, product packaging, and punchy logo wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or signage-style callouts when set large, where the faceted details remain clear.
The letterforms project speed and force, with a distinctly engineered, no-nonsense tone. Its hard angles and cut-in corners suggest athletic branding, machinery, and sci-fi interface aesthetics, giving text a punchy, competitive energy.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, machined aesthetic into an italic display sans: curves are systematically replaced by chamfers to keep a consistent geometric language, while the forward slant amplifies a sense of motion and urgency.
Uppercase shapes keep a consistent faceting system (notably in C/G/O/Q and the diagonals of A/N/V/W), while lowercase maintains the same clipped terminals for cohesion. The italic slant is pronounced enough to imply motion, and the strong, uniform stroke weight helps the font hold together in short bursts of text and large headings.
