Sans Faceted Nyby 12 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Two Cents Plain JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Posterman' by Mans Greback, 'Merchanto' by Type Juice, and 'Buyan' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with sharply cut, faceted contours that replace most curves with planar angles. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and terminals are flat or diagonally clipped, producing crisp corners and strong silhouettes. Counters are tight and geometric, with squared-off bowls and octagonal-like rounds (notably in O/0 and related forms). The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with firm verticals, short crossbars, and simplified joins that maintain a disciplined, modular rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where bold geometry can carry the message—headlines, poster typography, branding marks, athletic or event graphics, and packaging. It can also work for signage-style callouts or UI headings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed, while extended small text may feel dense due to tight counters and heavy strokes.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, evoking industrial labeling, athletic numerals, and rugged engineered forms. Its angular construction feels modern and mechanical rather than friendly, projecting confidence and impact in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans voice built from angular facets, maximizing presence and legibility through strong weight and simplified geometry. Its consistent cut-corner language suggests a deliberate move toward a rugged, engineered aesthetic that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The faceting creates distinctive shapes in letters like S and G, where angled steps stand in for smooth curves. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, reading like stenciled or scoreboard-inspired figures while remaining solid (non-stencil) and highly graphic.
