Sans Faceted Nyfe 3 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ultimatum MFV' by Comicraft, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Stems are uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness that keeps counters compact. The lowercase is tall and assertive, with simple, mostly geometric construction and a rhythm that reads like stenciled or die-cut letterforms. Numerals follow the same angular logic, giving the set a cohesive, hard-edged texture in both isolated glyphs and running text.
Well suited to headlines and short statements where a compact footprint and strong, hard-edged texture are desirable. It can work effectively for sports branding, industrial or tactical-themed packaging, labels, and bold wayfinding or signage that benefits from crisp, angular forms.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an industrial, sports-signage energy. Its faceted geometry and compressed proportions convey urgency and impact, leaning toward a retro mechanical feel rather than a soft contemporary one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width while maintaining clear, consistent shapes. By substituting curves with controlled facets, it aims for a mechanical, cut-metal aesthetic that stays legible and forceful in display settings.
The angular corner treatments create a distinctive sparkle along verticals and diagonals, especially in letters with rounded archetypes (such as C, G, O, S), where the faceting becomes a defining feature. Spacing appears tuned for compact set lines, producing a dense, uniform color at display sizes.
