Sans Faceted Tyku 1 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Leftfield' by Fenotype, 'Necia' by Graviton, 'Limbus Sans' by Luker Type, 'Brainy Variable Sans' by Maculinc, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, faceted sans with crisp, planar corners and clipped joins that replace curves with short angled segments. Strokes stay visually even throughout, producing a solid, uniform color, while counters tend toward squarish-octagonal shapes. Terminals are mostly flat or chamfered, and the overall construction feels geometric and engineered, with tight interior spaces and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event graphics, and logotypes where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It can also work well for labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a tough, industrial look.
The letterforms project a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, equipment-label energy. The angular cuts add a mechanical, fabricated feel that reads as rugged and purposeful rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, fabricated aesthetic into a readable text face by using consistent chamfers and flattened curves to create a distinctive, durable voice. Its structure prioritizes impact and recognizability, echoing the visual language of athletic numbering and industrial markings.
Distinctive chamfers on rounded letters (like O, C, G, S, and 8) create an octagonal rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shares the same hard-cornered construction as the capitals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and assertive.
