Sans Faceted Nyde 1 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Tavern' and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, 'Bessemer' by Sivioco, 'Enamelplate' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing an octagonal silhouette across bowls and counters. Strokes are monolinear and verticals dominate, with squared shoulders, flat terminals, and frequent chamfers that create a consistent, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase maintains the same narrow footprint with simplified joins and tight apertures; the overall texture reads dense and even in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where space is tight but impact is needed—posters, mastheads, wayfinding, labels, and bold brand locks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense, angular color may feel heavy for long-form body text.
The sharp, machined geometry gives a no-nonsense, industrial tone with strong signage energy. Its condensed heft and faceted edges also evoke athletic numbering and retro technical labeling, feeling confident, disciplined, and slightly austere.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure through a consistent system of chamfers and planar facets. The intent appears to be a practical, high-impact grotesque alternative with a technical, hard-edged voice that stays legible at display sizes.
Round letters like O/Q/C/G are notably polygonal, and diagonals (A/V/W/X) are crisp and rigid rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying compact and sturdy for punchy readout-style settings.
