Sans Faceted Abgad 5 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Mika Sans' by Ghozai Studio, and 'Reload' by Reserves (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from sharp planar facets and squared-off curves. Corners are consistently chamfered, creating octagonal bowls and terminals that read as machined rather than drawn. Strokes are uniform with low contrast, and the overall silhouette is compact and sturdy; apertures are relatively tight, while counters (as in O, D, 8) stay open through crisp inner cutouts. The lowercase is simplified and modular, with boxy bowls and straight-sided stems, and the numerals follow the same squared, beveled logic for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, team or esports identities, product marks, and packaging where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It also works well for UI/overlay labels, wayfinding-style titling, and short technical callouts that benefit from a bold, engineered look.
The face conveys a high-tech, engineered tone—confident, tough, and slightly aggressive. Its angular rhythm and beveled geometry evoke hardware markings, sci‑fi interfaces, and sports branding where impact and precision matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, beveled construction—maintaining straightforward letterforms while replacing curves with planar cuts for a modern, industrial voice. The consistent chamfer system suggests an emphasis on cohesion and strong presence in branding and titling.
Distinctive chamfers and straightened curves give many letters an octagonal character, producing a consistent “cut metal” impression across both caps and lowercase. The large, simple forms and strong horizontals create a steady, stencil-like readability at display sizes, though the tight interior spacing can make dense passages feel compact.
