Sans Faceted Nibi 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction that replaces curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing strong, blocky silhouettes and tight internal counters. The round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as octagonal forms, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sharply joined. Lowercase follows the same planar logic, with compact bowls and squared terminals, and numerals adopt similarly chamfered geometry for a uniform, rigid texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes and angular character are desirable—headlines, posters, sports and team branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short technical labels or UI/overlay elements where a rugged, industrial tone is needed.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking equipment labeling, team jerseys, and engineered systems. Its faceted shapes feel authoritative and purposeful, with a distinctly mechanical, no-nonsense voice and a subtle retro sports/military flavor.
The font appears designed to translate a classic block sans into a faceted, planar system, prioritizing impact and consistency over softness. By standardizing chamfers and straightened curves, it aims to deliver a robust, engineered aesthetic that remains legible and distinctive in prominent settings.
The design maintains a disciplined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, with corners consistently clipped to create a cohesive “machined” look. The dense fills and reduced curvature make it visually impactful at display sizes, while the tight counters and angular joins can appear more compact in long passages.
