Sans Faceted Mida 5 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, 'Certo Sans' by Monotype, 'Neue Alter' by OzType., and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A faceted, geometric sans with monoline strokes and crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments. Counters tend toward octagonal forms (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), creating a consistent, planar rhythm across the alphabet. The capitals read wide and steady with flat terminals, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction, including squared bowls and kinked joins that emphasize a technical, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for strong set consistency in UI and display contexts.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and on-screen graphics where angular styling enhances a technical theme. It can also work for short UI labels, buttons, and scoreboard-style numerals when a crisp, futuristic tone is desired.
The overall tone is modern and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and competitive sports graphics. Its hard edges and modular geometry project precision and toughness rather than warmth or handwriting personality.
The design appears intended to translate a sans-serif skeleton into a cut-corner, planar system, prioritizing a cohesive geometric motif over naturalistic curves. It aims to deliver a contemporary, tech-forward voice with sturdy shapes that hold up well in bold, high-contrast layouts.
Legibility is supported by clear silhouette differences and generous internal spacing in many glyphs, though the repeated chamfer motif can make round-letter families feel intentionally uniform. The design’s distinctive corners become more prominent at larger sizes, where the faceting reads as a deliberate stylistic signature.
