Sans Faceted Syba 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FF Oxide Solid' by FontFont, 'KP Duty JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Alehouse' and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace most curves with clipped, octagonal geometry. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with squared terminals and small, angular cut-ins at joins and counters that create a machined look. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular; round letters like O, C, and G read as faceted polygons. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with broad forms, simplified details, and a consistent, engineered silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used where impact and presence matter: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, esports and sports branding, team apparel graphics, and UI titles for games or tech interfaces. It can also work for short labels and signage-style text, but its dense, angular construction is most effective at larger sizes.
The typeface projects a rugged, no-nonsense tone—functional, sporty, and slightly sci‑fi—evoking stenciled equipment markings and arcade-era display lettering. Its hard edges and clipped corners give it a confident, high-impact voice suited to energetic, competitive, or technical contexts.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted construction into a bold, highly legible display voice, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent chamfered detailing over smooth curvature. It aims to deliver an industrial, athletic aesthetic that remains coherent across letters and figures.
Lowercase forms largely echo the caps’ geometry, keeping a compact, utilitarian feel; dots and small apertures appear square or near-square, reinforcing the modular system. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, producing strong, emblem-like figures that stay consistent with the letterforms.
