Sans Faceted Nyfe 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akhand Bengali', 'Akhand Devanagari', 'Akhand Gujarati', 'Akhand Kannada', and 'Akhand Odia' by Indian Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with strongly faceted, polygonal construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal bowls and counters (notably in O, D, 0, 8) and consistently chamfered terminals. Strokes are monolinear with tight apertures and compact interior spaces, giving a dense texture in text. Lowercase follows the same engineered geometry with a tall, utilitarian rhythm; verticals dominate, and joins stay crisp and planar rather than round.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and hard-edged geometry are desired. It also fits sports and event graphics, packaging, and product labeling, where its faceted forms read quickly and feel durable and engineered.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a machined, industrial confidence. Its chiseled facets and compact stance evoke sports markings, equipment labeling, and sci‑fi/tech interfaces, balancing retro sign-paint logic with a modern, precision-cut feel.
The design appears intended to translate a cut-metal, beveled aesthetic into a clean sans system, using chamfers and planar facets to suggest strength and precision while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly repeatable.
Numerals are especially emblematic, with squared-off, chamfered forms that read like stencil-free scoreboard figures. The face maintains consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps it look cohesive at display sizes while remaining assertive in short text.
