Sans Faceted Sysi 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'QB One' by BoxTube Labs, 'Double Back' by Comicraft, 'Tradesman' by Grype, and 'Borgstrand Pro' by Martin Lexelius Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp chamfers and planar facets. Counters tend toward octagonal and rectangular shapes, and the overall rhythm is compact with strong verticals and squared terminals. The lowercase uses mostly single-storey forms (notably a and g), with a tall x-height and minimal differentiation between rounded and straight letters due to the faceted construction. Figures follow the same blocky logic, with squared bowls and hard notches that keep the set visually uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as sports identities, bold headlines, posters, and high-impact packaging. It also works well for logos and short UI labels where a strong, technical voice is desired and the faceted forms can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a utilitarian, engineered feel. Its faceted construction evokes athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and game/UI aesthetics where impact and clarity matter more than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a rigid, faceted geometry that reads as rugged and contemporary. By standardizing curves into chamfers and keeping stroke structure simple, it aims for a cohesive, industrial display look that holds up in bold, attention-driven applications.
The angular joins and tight apertures can visually fill in at smaller sizes, while the clean, consistent edge treatment helps maintain a coherent texture in all-caps settings. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are wide and emphatic, reinforcing the font’s punchy, sign-like presence.
