Sans Faceted Syby 3 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Bike Tag JNL' and 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, and 'Caverson' by Letterena Studios (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, faceted planes. Counters are squarish and often inset as rectangular cutouts, producing a compact, modular rhythm. Terminals are flat with consistent stroke weight, and many glyphs show angular notches or step-like joins that emphasize a machined, constructed feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase echoes the same block logic with simplified bowls and tight apertures for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, logotypes, esports or sports marks, and UI elements for games or tech-themed interfaces. It can also work for labeling and packaging where a rugged, engineered voice is desired, while extended small-size reading may be less comfortable due to tight apertures and dense forms.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, with strong associations to industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and retro arcade typography. Its crisp facets and dense black shapes read as purposeful and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, faceted display voice that feels engineered and contemporary, translating rounded letterforms into planar geometry for a distinctive, system-like identity. Its consistent chamfers and modular counters suggest an intention to look sturdy, digital, and emblematic across both caps and mixed-case text.
The design relies on distinctive internal cutouts (notably in forms like A, B, D, O/0) and angular diagonals that keep shapes legible without true curves. Numerals match the uppercase’s squared geometry, and the font maintains a consistent, rigid grid logic that produces a punchy, high-contrast silhouette against light backgrounds.
