Sans Faceted Syko 3 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'QB One' by BoxTube Labs, 'Obvia Expanded' by Typefolio, 'Polarized' by Typodermic, and 'Crepes' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight segments and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters and bowls read as octagonal or rectangular forms, with consistent chamfering at joins and terminals that creates a uniform, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular construction, with compact apertures and sturdy stems; digits mirror the same faceted logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture. Spacing and sidebearings feel pragmatic and slightly irregular in a way that reinforces a mechanical, cut-from-plate aesthetic.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, esports and sports identities, product naming, and interface titles where an industrial or sci‑fi tone is desired. It can also work for labels and signage-style graphics, but extended paragraph text may feel heavy due to the dense forms and compact counters.
The overall tone is rugged and technical, evoking stenciled hardware markings, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp facets and dense color give it a decisive, no-nonsense voice that reads as functional, futuristic, and slightly aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate a machined, faceted construction into a bold sans for display use, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent chamfered geometry over smooth curvature. The cohesive treatment across letters and numerals suggests an aim for a unified, system-like look suitable for technical and entertainment branding.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, creating strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. The dense stroke mass and tight internal spaces suggest it will hold up best when given enough size or contrast so the counters don’t visually clog.
