Sans Faceted Anwo 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Erbaum' by Inhouse Type, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gunar' by The Northern Block, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with an octagonal, chamfered geometry that replaces curves with short planar facets. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with squared terminals and frequent clipped corners that create a consistent, hard-edged silhouette. The proportions feel broadly set with compact internal counters; many shapes (O, Q, 0, 8) read as angular rings, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are robust and mechanically straight. Spacing appears sturdy and utilitarian, prioritizing uniform mass and stable rhythm over delicacy, and the lowercase echoes the same faceted logic with simplified forms and minimal modulation.
This font is well suited to large-scale applications where strong silhouettes matter: sports identities, team merch, posters, product packaging, wayfinding, and bold interface labels. It performs best in short bursts—titles, badges, and big numerals—where its faceted construction and dense weight can carry visual authority.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, projecting a rugged, engineered character. Its faceted construction evokes industrial labeling and competitive sports numerals, with a slightly sci‑fi, tactical edge that feels built for impact rather than nuance.
The design appears intended to translate a sturdy, industrial block sans into a distinctive faceted system, using consistent chamfers to add character while preserving straightforward readability. It aims to deliver a hard-edged, modern display voice that stays systematic across letters and numbers.
Distinctive chamfers at key corners become a primary identifying feature, giving round letters an angular “cut” look and helping the design stay cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. The numerals are especially sign-like and sturdy, with clear, bold silhouettes suited to quick recognition at display sizes.
