Sans Faceted Nypi 5 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bessemer' by Sivioco and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Stems are uniform in thickness and the joins are crisp, creating a rigid, geometric texture with a strong vertical emphasis. Counters are tight and polygonal, with octagonal/rectilinear bowls in letters like O, D, and Q, and squared terminals throughout. Lowercase follows the same engineered construction with simplified forms and compact apertures, keeping spacing and rhythm steady in text.
Works best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identity, event graphics, labels, and bold signage where the condensed footprint helps fit long words into narrow spaces. It also suits UI or wayfinding accents when a sharp, engineered voice is desired, though the tight counters favor medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a collegiate/jersey edge and an industrial, machine-cut feel. Its sharp chamfers and compressed proportions suggest strength, speed, and a no-nonsense attitude suited to impactful messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width while projecting a rugged, fabricated aesthetic. By standardizing stroke weight and converting curves into consistent chamfers, it aims for clear, repeatable forms that feel athletic and industrial across letters and numerals.
Diagonal elements (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are steep and clean, and the faceting is consistent enough to read like a deliberate “cut metal” treatment rather than incidental corner rounding. Numerals are similarly blocky and high-impact, designed to hold their shape at distance and in bold, high-contrast settings.
