Sans Faceted Type 5 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Mono Spec' by Halbfett and 'Realtime', 'Realtime Rounded', 'Realtime Text', and 'Realtime Text Rounded' by Juri Zaech (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight, uniform strokes with clipped corners that turn round forms into octagonal, planar shapes. Curves are consistently replaced by short diagonals, producing a crisp faceted rhythm across bowls and shoulders. Proportions feel sturdy and compact with a high x-height and clear, open counters, while the overall spacing and alignment emphasize a disciplined, gridlike structure. Numerals and capitals echo the same chamfered geometry, giving the whole set a cohesive, engineered look.
It works well for interface labeling, dashboards, and terminal-style text where a strict grid aesthetic supports quick scanning. The angular, machined look also suits technical branding, industrial packaging, and signage that benefits from bold geometric structure and strong character differentiation.
The faceted construction and rigid rhythm convey a technical, industrial tone with a retro digital flavor. It reads as pragmatic and tool-like rather than expressive, suggesting instruments, labeling, and systems where clarity and consistency are prioritized.
The design appears intended to translate a monospaced, system-like skeleton into a distinctive faceted language, swapping curves for chamfers to create an engineered, modular personality. It aims to stay highly legible while projecting a purposeful, hardware-adjacent aesthetic.
The repeated chamfer motif acts like a built-in edge treatment, keeping joins sharp without becoming spiky. The forms remain highly regular from glyph to glyph, with minimal stroke modulation and an intentionally mechanical cadence in text.
