Sans Faceted Abbak 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Truens' by Seventh Imperium, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Militarist' by Vozzy, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniform and rectangular, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal, machined silhouette across rounds like C, O, and S. Counters are tight and geometric, apertures are small, and the overall rhythm is dense and high-impact, keeping word shapes rigid and consistent in text.
Best used for short, bold applications where strong geometry and tight spacing are an advantage—headlines, posters, wordmarks, team or event branding, and wayfinding-style signage. It also suits packaging and labels that benefit from a rugged, technical voice; for long passages, its dense counters and compact rhythm are likely to feel heavy.
The faceted geometry and compressed massing give a tough, engineered tone that reads as purposeful and no-nonsense. It evokes signage, equipment labeling, and competitive energy, with a slightly sci‑fi edge due to the clipped, modular construction.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted letterforms that stay consistent across the alphabet. By replacing curves with chamfered planes and keeping stroke weight uniform, it aims for a durable, industrial look that remains legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms feel more monolithic while the lowercase introduces sturdier, simplified structures (single-storey a and g) that keep the same chopped-corner logic. Numerals follow the same octagonal patterning, maintaining uniform texture and strong figure presence in strings.
