Sans Faceted Nyde 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Ft Zeux' by Fateh.Lab, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with hard, faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and short straight segments, giving many bowls and rounds an octagonal feel. Strokes are heavy and uniform with squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing a compact, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are small, and the overall geometry emphasizes verticality; round glyphs like O/Q are built from straight-sided facets while diagonal forms (A, V, W, Y) stay crisp and steep. Numerals follow the same clipped, technical logic, reading clearly with sturdy, rectilinear forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent UI or environmental signage where its faceted geometry can read as intentional styling. It can work well for branding and logo wordmarks that want a technical or industrial impression, and for sports or product graphics where compact width and high stroke weight help maintain impact.
The overall tone is mechanical and assertive, with a utilitarian, engineered character that suggests contemporary signage and equipment graphics. Its sharp facets add a futuristic edge while the condensed proportions keep it punchy and space-efficient, leaning toward an energetic, performance-oriented feel.
The design appears intended to translate a modern grotesque skeleton into a faceted, chamfered aesthetic, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a built-from-planes look over soft curves. Its condensed proportions and sturdy strokes suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display use in space-constrained layouts.
In text settings the dense color and tight internal spaces create strong presence but can feel compact at smaller sizes; it visually rewards generous tracking and larger point sizes. The consistent corner-clipping across caps, lowercase, and figures contributes to a coherent, system-like rhythm.
