Sans Faceted Aflu 5 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Marca' by ArimaType, 'Canby JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Goldana' by Seventh Imperium (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and consistently uniform stroke weight. Curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and planar cuts, creating octagonal counters and chamfered terminals throughout. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall, narrow letterforms, short crossbars, and boxy bowls that keep sidebearings economical while maintaining clear internal space. Numerals and lowercase follow the same geometric logic, with straight joins and sharply notched diagonals that read as engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, logos, labels, and wayfinding where its compact width and strong silhouette add impact. It also fits UI or product contexts that want an engineered, retro-tech tone, especially for titles, badges, and numeric readouts.
The overall tone is mechanical and high-impact, with a crisp, manufactured feel reminiscent of stenciled labeling and retro-digital display typography. Its angular construction gives it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels technical, urban, and slightly sci-fi.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-strength sans built from straight segments and clipped corners, prioritizing punch, consistency, and a distinctly geometric voice. The faceted construction suggests a deliberate move away from smooth curves toward a more industrial, display-oriented aesthetic.
The faceted corner treatment is highly consistent across rounds (C/O/Q) and joins (K/M/N/W), giving the font a cohesive “machined” texture. The dense color and compact widths make it especially punchy at larger sizes, while the simplified geometry helps preserve recognition in bold settings.
