Sans Faceted Nydu 2 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grand' by North Type, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, 'Buyan' by Yu Type, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Stems are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent 45° chamfers that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. Proportions are tightly condensed with compact apertures and tall vertical emphasis, producing a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with simplified forms and consistent corner-cut details across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and bold branding where the angular silhouettes can do the work. It can also serve well in signage or packaging where a compact, tough voice is desired, but the tight apertures and dense rhythm make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone feels hard-edged and engineered, with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed, faceted construction evokes industrial labeling, athletic wordmarks, and modern tech styling rather than friendly or literary typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast-in-shape (not stroke) display voice by using chamfered geometry to suggest durability and precision. The consistent corner-cut system and condensed proportions aim for immediate recognition and a strong graphic footprint.
The faceting is especially apparent in rounded characters and digits, where the cut corners define the silhouette and keep counters relatively small. The uppercase set reads particularly uniform and architectural, while the lowercase introduces slight functional variety without losing the angular system.
