Sans Faceted Niba 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'CA Zentrum' by Cape Arcona Type Foundry, 'Gilam' by Fontfabric, 'Mazot' by Hurufatfont, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Core Sans E' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are monoline and squared-off, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette across rounds and diagonals alike. Proportions read slightly compact and sturdy, with a tall x-height in the lowercase and tight interior counters that keep the texture dense at text sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt, and diagonals are crisp and consistent, giving the alphabet a uniform, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display lines where the angular construction can be appreciated. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from an industrial, technical voice and strong presence at a distance.
The overall tone is mechanical and hardened, evoking manufactured signage and equipment labeling. Its faceted construction adds a futuristic edge while still feeling practical and straightforward, projecting strength and reliability more than elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a utilitarian sans into a faceted, engineered style—maintaining straightforward letterforms while introducing consistent chamfers to suggest machining, hardware, or digital geometry.
The faceting is applied consistently to traditionally curved forms (such as C, G, O, S, and 0), creating a distinctive polygonal identity. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set, and the sample text shows a dark, high-impact color on the page with compact word shapes.
