Sans Faceted Tyso 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Magnitudes' by DuoType and 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' by Emtype Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, forward-slanted sans with sharp, planar facets replacing smooth curves, giving many bowls and rounds an octagonal feel. Strokes are thick and even with minimal contrast, and terminals tend to end in straight, clipped cuts rather than soft joins. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are narrow, and the overall set reads compact and upright in structure despite the slant. Numerals and capitals keep a consistent, engineered rhythm, with squared-off geometry and crisp corners that stay coherent in both the grid and text settings.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and impactful titling where a compact footprint is useful. It also fits sports and tech-adjacent branding, packaging callouts, and short UI labels where a strong, engineered voice is desired.
The face feels mechanical and energetic, combining a utilitarian, industrial edge with a sporty, display-driven punch. Its faceted construction and condensed stance suggest speed, precision, and toughness, lending a slightly retro-tech tone reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, or performance branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display sans with a distinctive faceted construction, trading softness for crisp, planar geometry. It aims to project speed and strength while maintaining consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures for practical branding use.
In text, the narrow proportions and closed shapes create a dense color, making spacing and line height important for comfort at smaller sizes. The faceting is strong enough to read as a defining motif, so it performs best when given room to show its crisp corners and disciplined geometry.
