Sans Faceted Abmay 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Karepe FX' by Differentialtype, 'Behover' by Martype co, 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K, 'Interrupt Display Pro' by T4 Foundry, and 'Aeroscope' and 'Emmentaler' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly packed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Stems are thick and uniform, with rectangular counters and notches that create a machined, stencil-like rhythm in letters such as A, B, D, O, and P. The overall silhouette is tall and compact, with squared terminals, sharp joins, and a consistent octagonal shaping that keeps round letters feeling rigid and architectural. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with firm vertical stress and cut-in corners for a cohesive, sign-like color on the page.
Best suited to big, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel/team branding, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for short UI labels or badges where a compact, authoritative voice is useful, but it’s less comfortable for extended paragraph reading.
The font projects a forceful, engineered tone—more industrial and competitive than friendly. Its faceted construction evokes varsity and team graphics, arcade-era display type, and hard-edged branding where impact and toughness are prioritized over softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using faceted geometry to suggest strength, precision, and a hard-surfaced aesthetic. Its consistent corner-cut construction aims for a recognizable, emblematic look that holds up in bold display applications.
Because the interior spaces are narrow and squared off, the texture becomes dense quickly in long lines; it reads best when given generous tracking or used at larger sizes. The distinctive pointed and notched details add character but can visually merge at small sizes or in tightly set copy.
