Sans Faceted Yidi 1 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, italic, normal x-height font.
Keywords: sports branding, esports, automotive, headlines, posters, futuristic, racing, aggressive, technical, action, speed emphasis, tech aesthetic, impact display, modern branding, mechanical tone, angular, faceted, geometric, slanted, condensed counters.
This typeface uses sharp, planar facets to suggest curves, creating an angular, aerodynamic silhouette throughout. Strokes are heavy and clean with crisp terminals, and many joins are cut with diagonal chamfers that keep forms tight and mechanical. The italic slant is pronounced and consistent, reinforcing forward motion; counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and curves (as in O/0) read as multi-sided loops rather than smooth bowls. Overall spacing feels purposeful and slightly tight for impact, while distinctive cuts—like the angled crossbar on A and the squared, inset counters in B and 8—maintain a unified, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to high-impact display work where speed and intensity are desirable: sports and esports identities, automotive or motorsport graphics, action-oriented packaging, and bold headlines. It also performs well for short UI labels or product names that benefit from a technical, engineered voice, though the compact counters suggest using it at medium-to-large sizes for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-driven, with a distinctly tech-forward attitude. Its faceted construction and strong slant evoke speed, machinery, and competitive energy rather than neutrality or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, high-performance look by replacing curves with crisp facets and maintaining a strong forward slant. Its construction prioritizes a cohesive, mechanical rhythm and instant visual impact for modern, energetic branding contexts.
Numerals and uppercase share the same hard-edged construction, making the set feel consistent for alphanumeric-heavy layouts. The 0 is clearly differentiated from O by its more geometric, cut-in construction, and the 1 is simplified and slanted, matching the font’s streamlined ethos. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry, favoring sharp shoulders and clipped terminals over traditional roundness.
