Sans Faceted Syby 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'LHF Advertisers Square' by Letterhead Fonts, and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight cuts and short diagonals. Strokes are consistently thick, with squared counters and rectangular apertures that keep forms sturdy and mechanical. Uppercase letters sit in boxy, near-rectilinear silhouettes, while the lowercase retains the same hard-edged geometry and a notably tall x-height, giving mixed-case text a dense, uniform color. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with crisp corners and simplified interior spaces for strong impact.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and esports branding, team marks, and bold product or packaging titles. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when used at larger sizes with generous tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting engineered surfaces, stenciled hardware markings, and scoreboard-like emphasis. Its sharp facets and dense weight read as assertive and energetic, aligning with sporty, tactical, and tech-forward aesthetics.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch through simplified geometry and repeated faceting, translating round letterforms into angular, manufactured shapes. Its tall lowercase and sturdy construction aim to keep mixed-case text visually even while maintaining a distinctive, hard-edged identity.
The design relies on consistent corner chamfers across rounds and joints, creating a cohesive “cut metal” rhythm throughout. Interior spaces are relatively small at display sizes, which intensifies the dark mass and makes spacing feel compact and forceful.
