Sans Faceted Tyba 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Royal' by Berthold, 'Flaco' by Letter Edit, 'Trade Gothic Next' by Linotype, 'NuOrder' by The Northern Block, and 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with planar, chamfered forms that replace smooth curves with short, straight facets. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are largely squared-off, giving the alphabet a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters tend to be round-ish but polygonal, and joins (especially in diagonals and bowls) show deliberate cuts that create a crisp, slightly segmented rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading clearly and with a compact, robust stance.
Best suited for display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, logotypes, and wayfinding/signage. It can work for short blocks of text or captions when a strong, industrial voice is desired, but the dense weight and faceting make it most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and machine-made—confident, modern, and slightly aggressive due to the sharp cuts and blunt terminals. It evokes signage, hardware labeling, and contemporary industrial branding rather than softness or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, contemporary sans voice with a distinctive faceted construction—adding character and memorability while keeping the letterforms straightforward and highly readable.
In text, the faceting becomes a consistent texture: curves in letters like C, G, S, and O read as multi-sided arcs, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y feel precise and structural. The design maintains legibility by keeping apertures and counters open enough despite the heavy weight, producing a dense but controlled color on the page.
