Sans Faceted Anni 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that turn most curves into short planar cuts. Strokes are uniform and geometric, with squared terminals and angular counters that create octagonal interior shapes in letters like O, D, and 0. The design keeps broad, stable proportions and tight joins, producing a dense texture with clear, hard edges and consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large-size display work where the angular facets can be appreciated: sports and team branding, bold posters, impactful headings, packaging, and wayfinding or signage. It can also support short UI labels or badges when a strong, mechanical tone is desired, though its dense weight favors concise text.
The faceted construction reads as rugged and utilitarian, with an athletic, scoreboard-like energy. Its sharp geometry and solid mass convey strength and a slightly retro, industrial attitude rather than softness or elegance.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into a highly legible display face—replacing curves with controlled chamfers to keep forms crisp, sturdy, and visually consistent across the set.
Uppercase forms are especially assertive and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same angular logic with simplified, sturdy shapes. Numerals follow the same corner-cut treatment, supporting a cohesive look in alphanumeric-heavy settings.
