Sans Faceted Etny 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Metro Block' by Ghozai Studio, 'Factual JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Mongoose' by Kostic, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with hard, planar facets that replace curves and create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes read as sturdy and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts at corners and joins. Counters are compact and geometry is tall and narrow, giving the alphabet a compressed, high-energy rhythm. Numerals and caps share the same angular logic, producing a consistent, rigid texture across lines of text.
Best suited for display work where impact and momentum matter: sports identities, esports/event graphics, promotional posters, and bold headlines. It can also work on apparel and product marks where a condensed, aggressive look helps fit longer names into tight spaces.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a sporty, high-impact voice. Its faceted construction and steep slant suggest speed, intensity, and a slightly militaristic or industrial edge, making it feel more assertive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, combining a steep slant with faceted, machined-looking forms to communicate speed and strength. Its consistent angular construction suggests a focus on a unified, logo-ready texture rather than quiet text neutrality.
The faceting introduces small notches and sharp interior angles that become more prominent at display sizes, while the condensed width packs letters closely for a dense typographic color. The sample text shows strong emphasis and presence, with distinctive diagonal cuts helping keep similar forms (like C/G/O and 0) visually separated despite tight counters.
