Sans Faceted Tyki 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Double Porter' by Fenotype, 'Marce' by Umka Type, and 'Buyan' and 'Buyan Variable' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered, polygonal turns that create octagonal counters and squared terminals, producing a faceted silhouette across rounds like C, O, and S. Stroke thickness is consistent with minimal contrast, and the narrow proportions yield tight internal spacing and a strong vertical rhythm. Lowercase follows the same engineered geometry with squared bowls and short, sturdy joins, while numerals are similarly block-constructed for uniform color in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headline typography, athletic or team branding, labels, and bold signage. It performs well when you want compact width with strong presence, especially in all-caps or tight, stacked compositions.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a hard-edged presence that reads as industrial and sporty. Its compact massing and angular facets evoke stenciled hardware, team apparel, and vintage signage aesthetics, projecting confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while preserving clear letter separation through faceted corner cuts and simplified forms. Its geometric, machine-like construction prioritizes a consistent, rugged texture for display typography.
Distinctive chamfers at corners and terminals create crisp notches and flattened arcs that enhance sharpness at larger sizes. The design maintains consistent visual density across mixed-case settings, with punctuation and spacing that support headline-style composition.
