Sans Faceted Nyde 3 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Adversary BB' by Blambot, 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Evanston Tavern' and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, and 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-sans design built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar cuts. Stems are heavy and even, with minimal stroke modulation and squared terminals that often break into short diagonals, producing an octagonal rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, apertures are tight, and spacing is disciplined, giving the face a dense, sign-like texture. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with strong verticals and clipped corners for a consistently mechanical feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and directional or informational signage. It also works well for sports-inspired graphics, event collateral, and product labeling where a rugged, faceted silhouette helps text hold up at distance.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, combining a sports-jersey directness with a technical, engineered edge. Its faceting and compressed proportions evoke labeling, equipment markings, and retro-industrial graphics rather than soft or conversational typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width while maintaining a rigid, machined geometry. By substituting curves with angled facets and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a durable, industrial voice that reads clearly in bold display settings.
The forms stay highly consistent across cases, with simplified joins and sturdy diagonals that prioritize stability and legibility at display sizes. The compact interior spaces and narrow proportions create a strong vertical emphasis and a tight typographic color in lines of text.
