Sans Faceted Anva 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with a faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped corners and planar arcs. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, producing a compact, forceful texture; counters are generally small and often rectangular, especially in rounded letters and numerals. The forms lean on straight stems and strong horizontals, with occasional beveled cuts on diagonals and joins (notably in A, K, V/W, and Z), giving the design a machined, modular feel. Lowercase keeps the same geometric language with a tall x-height and sturdy bowls, staying legible while retaining the angular, cut-corner rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, team/athletic identities, event posters, rugged packaging, and high-contrast signage. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when set with generous spacing, as the dense strokes and tight counters are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The font reads as tough and purposeful, evoking utilitarian signage, sports branding, and rugged product labeling. Its sharp facets and dense color convey speed and strength rather than softness, with a contemporary, equipment-like tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a distinctly angular, machined aesthetic—maintaining a sans framework while adding faceted cuts to suggest durability, speed, and industrial precision.
The faceting is applied consistently across round shapes (C/G/O/Q and 0/8/9), creating a distinctive “squared-off curve” silhouette. The numeral set matches the caps in weight and geometry, supporting bold headlines and prominent data callouts.
