Sans Faceted Syna 4 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FS Emeric' by Fontsmith, 'Altivo' by Kostic, 'Fieldwork' by TipoType, and 'TT Norms Pro' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction: curves are consistently replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing octagonal bowls and sharply clipped terminals. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad, squared counters and a compact interior rhythm that keeps shapes sturdy at display sizes. Proportions lean extended, with wide caps and generous horizontal spans; diagonals and joins are cut cleanly, giving letters a machined, planar look. Lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic, with simplified forms and strong vertical stems that maintain a uniform, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where bold shapes and distinctive silhouettes need to hold attention quickly. It also fits sports branding, gaming or tech-themed graphics, product packaging, and signage where a sturdy, angular voice enhances impact.
The faceted geometry reads as engineered and rugged, suggesting hardware, athletics, and sci‑fi interfaces more than traditional editorial typography. Its strong silhouettes and clipped corners add a sense of speed and impact, while the slightly playful polygonal bowls keep it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact display sans that swaps curves for planar facets, creating a consistent polygonal system across letters and numerals. The goal is recognizability at a glance, with a machined, energetic character that feels modern and assertive.
Round letters like C/O/Q show consistent multi-sided construction, and the numerals echo the same angular vocabulary, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. The overall color is very dark and compact, favoring short headlines, badges, and punchy statements over long passages.
