Sans Faceted Simu 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Brock Restar' by Letterena Studios, and 'Hemi Head' and 'Refuel' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted sans built from crisp planar cuts rather than true curves, producing a distinctly faceted silhouette. Strokes are broad and uniform, with sharp chamfered corners, squared terminals, and polygonal bowls that read like beveled blocks. The uppercase has a compact, forward-leaning stance with wide interior counters where applicable, while the lowercase stays sturdy and simplified, maintaining the same angular logic. Numerals follow the same chiseled construction, with flat edges and clipped joins that keep the texture dense and high-impact.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as sports and esports branding, event posters, action-oriented packaging, and bold headline systems. It also fits UI or signage moments that want a rugged, technical flavor, especially when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels fast, engineered, and combative—like performance branding and sci‑fi interface typography. Its sharp geometry and strong forward slant convey motion and urgency, giving headlines a punchy, competitive voice.
This design appears intended to deliver a high-energy italic voice with a machined, faceted construction—prioritizing impact, speed, and a hard-surface aesthetic over softness or neutrality.
The faceting is consistent across rounds (C, O, S, 8/9) and diagonals (A, V, W, X), creating a hard-edged rhythm that stays coherent in longer lines. The strong weight and tight shapes can visually merge at small sizes, but the distinctive cuts help preserve letter identity in display settings.
