Sans Faceted Nyme 4 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Elephantmen Greater & Taller' by Comicraft, 'JAF Bernini Sans' by Just Another Foundry, and 'Bitcrusher' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with planar facets and octagonal-like terminals. The forms are compact and tightly set, with heavy verticals and squared counters that create a rigid, mechanical texture. Round characters such as O, C, and G read as angular shells with consistent chamfers, while joins and diagonals stay crisp and geometric. Lowercase and figures follow the same cut-corner logic, keeping a uniform, stencil-free silhouette and a steady, engineered rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and structure are priorities, such as posters, headlines, logos, sports branding, and apparel graphics. It also works well for packaging labels, wayfinding, and UI callouts that benefit from a compact, high-impact, geometric presence.
The overall tone feels tough, functional, and purpose-driven, with an industrial edge that suggests machinery, sports uniforms, or technical labeling. Its sharp geometry and compact proportions give it a commanding, no-nonsense voice that reads as modern and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice using faceted geometry, providing a distinctive alternative to rounded grotesques while preserving straightforward, utilitarian legibility at larger sizes.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, giving both caps and lowercase a cohesive ‘machined’ look. Narrow apertures and squared counters emphasize solidity, and the numerals echo the same angular construction for strong visual continuity in alphanumeric systems.
