Sans Faceted Nyna 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Dharma Gothic' and 'Dharma Gothic Rounded' by Dharma Type, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly packed display sans with monoline strokes and sharply faceted terminals that replace curves with small planar cuts. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, and many joins show squared shoulders that create a chiseled, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a high x-height and minimal differentiation between bowls and stems, while capitals maintain a uniform, vertical stance. Numerals follow the same hard-edged construction, with straight-sided forms and clipped corners that keep the texture dense and dark.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and packaging where its condensed silhouette and faceted construction can deliver impact. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style callouts when legibility is supported by size and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense, industrial voice. Its sharp facets and compressed proportions evoke mechanical labeling, sports-style toughness, and retro poster energy rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while keeping a distinctive, angular personality. By using faceted cuts in place of smooth curves, it creates a rugged, constructed aesthetic that reads as technical and bold in display typography.
The faceting is consistent across the set, producing a distinctive “cut metal” feel at corners and along implied curves (notably in rounded letters and figures). The dense spacing and narrow internal openings make it most effective when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes where the angular details can read clearly.
