Sans Faceted Nybi 1 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to '946 Latin' by Roman Type, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'URW Dock Condensed' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A faceted, monoline sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, giving most curves an octagonal, planar feel. Capitals are compact and sturdy with squared counters, while lowercase maintains a tall x-height and simplified forms; rounds like o/c/e read as clipped polygons rather than smooth bowls. Stroke endings are clean and flat, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm is even, producing a dense, engineered texture in text. Numerals follow the same chiseled geometry, with the 0 and 8 notably octagonal and tightly contained.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where its faceted construction can be appreciated—posters, packaging, logos, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for signage and wayfinding where sturdy, high-impact letterforms are desired, while extended body text may feel rigid due to the strongly angular texture.
The sharp facets and blocky silhouettes create a pragmatic, machine-made tone that feels technical and no-nonsense. It carries a subtle retro digital/arcade and athletic-marking energy, projecting strength and clarity over softness or warmth.
Likely intended to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into a clean sans structure, replacing curves with controlled facets for a rugged, engineered look. The tall lowercase and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on punchy readability in display and UI-like contexts rather than traditional book typography.
The design leans on consistent corner notches and diagonal cuts to signal internal shaping, which helps unify the set and keep letterforms distinct at display sizes. In longer lines, the repeated chamfers produce a patterned, mechanical cadence that can read bold and assertive.
