Sans Faceted Sylo 11 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with an octagonal, chamfered construction that replaces curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp, planar joins, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette and clear interior counters shaped like notched rectangles. Proportions lean expanded, and the overall rhythm is driven by flat terminals, stepped diagonals, and faceted bowls that keep forms rigid and geometric across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best used in large display contexts such as headlines, posters, sports-themed branding, and bold packaging where the angular facets remain legible and stylistically prominent. It also fits gaming or tech UI moments—titles, labels, and overlays—where a geometric, hardware-like voice supports the content.
The faceted geometry conveys a tough, engineered tone with strong echoes of scoreboard lettering, arcade-era graphics, and utilitarian labeling. Its sharp corners and stamped-like presence feel energetic and competitive, while the uniform weight and angularity read as technical and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, geometric display voice by translating traditional sans structures into a faceted, chamfered system. By prioritizing flat edges and clipped corners, it creates a consistent industrial aesthetic while preserving recognizable letterforms for quick reading in short bursts.
Distinctive cut-ins and corner bevels create a consistent “machined” texture at text sizes, with diagonals and counters giving many letters a stenciled, emblem-like character. The numerals and capitals appear especially suited to bold, logo-like settings where angular shapes and wide forms can dominate.
