Sans Faceted Tyji 9 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Tavern' and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Breuer Condensed' by TypeTrust, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and consistent, faceted corner cuts that replace most curves with short planar segments. Strokes are monolinear and the overall rhythm is tight, with relatively small counters and straight-sided bowls. The facet treatment is applied systematically across rounds and diagonals, producing octagonal silhouettes in letters like O/C/G and similarly clipped terminals in E/F/T and numerals. Lowercase forms follow the same blocky construction, with a sturdy, rectangular feel and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited for short, bold text where the faceted silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event graphics, and brand marks. It also fits sports-oriented identity work and apparel graphics, as well as packaging and labels that benefit from a stamped, industrial presence.
The angular, clipped construction gives a tough, engineered tone that reads as utilitarian and high-impact. Its sharp corners and condensed presence evoke athletic numerals, equipment labeling, and industrial signage, projecting confidence and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a consistent, machined geometry. By standardizing corner facets and keeping stroke contrast minimal, it aims for a strong, reproducible look that feels technical and robust across letters and numerals.
The faceting creates strong internal geometry and crisp negative spaces, which can feel busy in long passages but adds character in large sizes. Round letters stay highly structured, and diagonals (V/W/Y) appear tense and athletic, reinforcing a rugged, performance-oriented voice.
