Sans Faceted Sypi 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block and 'TT Commons™️ Pro' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal construction and sharply chamfered corners that replace most curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend toward polygonal shapes, producing a compact, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms (single-storey a, compact e), while overall widths vary by glyph, giving the text a strong, block-built texture. Terminals are flat and clipped, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and sturdy, reinforcing a rigid, machined silhouette.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, titles, sports identities, gaming interfaces, and packaging where a strong, angular voice is desired. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when set with generous spacing, but its dense shapes are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry and dense weight convey a tough, utilitarian attitude with a distinctly sporty, tech-forward edge. It feels assertive and mechanical, like lettering cut from metal or molded in hard plastic, and reads as energetic and uncompromising rather than refined.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a readable sans for bold display use, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent chamfered motif across the character set. The goal seems to be an industrial, sport/tech flavor with uniform stroke heft and simplified, robust letterforms.
The sharp internal corners and small apertures in some letters can darken at smaller sizes, while the large, clear outer silhouettes hold up well for bold headlines. Numerals share the same chamfered, octagonal logic, keeping signage-style consistency across alphanumerics.
