Sans Faceted Syni 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Artegra Sans' and 'Habanera' by Artegra, 'Breno' by Monotype, 'Quarion' by René Bieder, 'Conneqt' by Roman Melikhov, and 'Fieldwork' by TipoType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with crisp faceted corners that replace most curves with chamfered, planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick and the counters tend toward octagonal and rectangular shapes, giving letters like O, Q, and G a hard-edged, engineered feel. Terminals are flat and squared, joins are abrupt, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy with tight-looking internal space at text sizes. Numerals follow the same chiseled geometry, with notably angular 2, 3, 5 and octagonal 0, 6, 8, 9.
Best suited to large-scale applications where the faceted details and dense weight can read cleanly—headlines, posters, bold branding, athletic identities, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short labels or UI badges where a strong, mechanical tone is desired, but extended small-size text may feel heavy due to tight counters.
The faceted construction reads tough and utilitarian, evoking stamped metal, athletic signage, and bold industrial labeling. Its sharp chamfers and dense color create an energetic, no-nonsense tone that feels more about impact than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a rigid, faceted geometry—suggesting durability and precision while maintaining simple sans construction. The consistent chamfering across glyphs prioritizes a cohesive, engineered aesthetic over conventional rounded forms.
Round letters are consistently “cut” into multi-sided forms rather than softened, which keeps the texture even across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase maintains the same geometric vocabulary as the caps, producing a unified, poster-like voice rather than a delicate text face.
