Sans Faceted Anze 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Tradesman' by Grype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, with corners consistently chamfered into octagonal, faceted silhouettes. Curves are largely avoided or flattened into angled segments, producing compact counters and squared bowls (notably in O, D, and 0) with crisp inner corners. The stroke weight is uniform and dense, with short terminals and a slightly squared, mechanical rhythm; widths vary by letter, keeping wide forms like M and W expansive while narrow forms like I and l stay compact. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with a blocky 0 and straight, segmented diagonals in figures like 2 and 7.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, team or event graphics, product packaging, and game or tech-themed UI moments where a tough, engineered look is desired. It also works well for signage-style labeling and numbers in contexts like uniforms, equipment tags, or bold callouts.
The overall tone is rugged and no-nonsense, evoking athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its faceted construction reads as engineered and durable, lending an aggressive, high-impact voice that feels modern and utilitarian rather than refined.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of cut metal, stenciled plates, and polygonal forms into a cohesive, modern display alphabet. By replacing curves with chamfered facets and keeping weight consistent, it aims to maximize punch and legibility at larger sizes while maintaining a distinctive, industrial identity.
Diagonal joins and stepped angles create strong directional energy, especially in K, R, V, W, X, and Y. Lowercase forms retain the same squared geometry and heavy presence, making mixed-case text feel more like a unified display system than a traditional text face.
