Sans Faceted Asfi 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Neuron Angled' by Corradine Fonts, 'Cartella NF' by Nick's Fonts, and 'Fishmonger' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, angular display sans built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, with curves consistently replaced by clipped corners and faceted joins. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with squared counters and polygonal bowls that create a hard-edged rhythm. Diagonals are sturdy and short, terminals are blunt, and the overall texture reads dense and graphic, staying highly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the angular silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging titles, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for badges, labels, and UI callouts where a strong, geometric stamp is desired, but it’s less appropriate for extended reading at small sizes.
The faceted geometry gives the type a mechanical, industrial voice with a retro arcade and signage flavor. Its exaggerated, block-like presence feels assertive and slightly playful, emphasizing impact and attitude over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through faceted construction—evoking cut metal, carved shapes, or polygonal lettering—while remaining cleanly sans and highly legible at display sizes. Its consistent chiseled geometry suggests a purpose-built style for bold branding and energetic promotional typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction, producing a uniform, cut-from-plate impression. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, keeping the set cohesive for bold headlines and number-heavy callouts.
