Sans Faceted Asbe 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, '3x5' and 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal terminals. Stems are consistently thick and monoline in feel, with squared counters and small rectangular apertures that keep forms tight and sturdy. The uppercase has a uniform, sign-like geometry, while the lowercase echoes the same faceted construction with simplified bowls and hard joins. Numerals follow the same modular logic, reading like cut metal or stenciled blocks, with strong verticals and flat tops/bottoms that emphasize stability.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where a forceful, engineered look is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and team or event branding that benefits from a rugged, uniform style. For longer text, it works best in brief blocks or callouts where its compact counters and angular detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a competitive, sports-jersey edge and a hint of retro arcade or tactical labeling. Its sharp facets and dense silhouettes communicate strength, impact, and precision rather than softness or friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, faceted construction that stays consistent across the set. By using chamfered corners and hard-edged counters, it aims to evoke cut, manufactured forms while maintaining clear, sturdy letter shapes for display use.
Because many openings and counters are relatively small, the face reads best when given space—either at larger sizes or with generous tracking/leading—so the internal shapes don’t visually fill in. The consistent corner treatment creates a cohesive rhythm across letters and figures, making it especially effective for short, bold statements.
