Sans Faceted Elpa 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bystone' by GraphTypika, 'Posey' by Graphicfresh, 'Enamela' by K-Type, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted sans with crisp, faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are consistently thick with hard chamfered corners, creating octagonal counters and notched terminals. The letterforms feel compact and tightly engineered, with squared bowls and clipped diagonals that emphasize speed and direction. Lowercase follows the same angular logic, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and clean at a glance.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, team or event branding, esports graphics, posters, and packaging where the angular silhouettes can carry the message. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a fast, technical stance, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and performance-oriented, blending a motorsport/athletics energy with a techno-industrial edge. Its sharp facets and assertive slant read as dynamic and slightly confrontational, suited to branding that wants impact and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through a strong slant and faceted, machined geometry, offering a distinctive alternative to rounded italic sans styles while staying highly legible in display use.
Counters stay relatively open despite the weight, but the faceting introduces many sharp interior angles that become a key texture in longer lines. Numerals echo the same clipped geometry, producing a cohesive, engineered feel across alphanumerics.
