Sans Faceted Nyly 7 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bradford' by ActiveSphere, 'Kicker FC' by Arkitype, 'Hoolister' by Ckhans Fonts, 'Loftie' by Gerald Gallo, 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, and 'Raviona' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed display sans with a tall, compressed stance and strong vertical stress. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with corners and joins resolved into sharp, planar facets rather than smooth curves, creating a chiseled silhouette in bowls and terminals. Counters are narrow and often slit-like, and several characters feature clipped shoulders and squared-off apertures that reinforce a rigid, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing and sidebearings read compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and lines.
Best suited to large sizes where its narrow counters and faceted details can breathe—posters, headlines, signage, and brand marks that need a compact footprint with strong impact. It can also work on packaging and labels when a retro-industrial or Deco-tinged voice is desired, but is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to its dense interior space.
The letterforms evoke a hard-edged, machine-made tone with a distinct Art Deco and industrial poster feel. Its angular construction and compressed proportions convey urgency and authority, leaning toward signage and headline culture rather than conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using angular faceting to replace curves and create a distinctive, architectural texture. It prioritizes bold legibility and a stylized, era-referential character for display typography.
Distinctive faceting in rounded letters (such as C, G, O, S) gives the design a cut-metal, stenciled impression without actually breaking strokes. The numerals mirror the same compressed, angular logic, keeping the set visually consistent for titling and short numeric strings.
