Sans Faceted Nyky 2 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'EFCO Colburn' by Ilham Herry; 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat; 'Beachwood', 'Hyperspace Race', and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type; and 'Bitcrusher' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from tall, compact forms with squared counters and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are largely replaced by planar facets and clipped corners, giving letters an octagonal, machined geometry. Terminals are blunt and straight, joins are crisp, and counters stay tight, producing a strong vertical rhythm and dense texture. Numerals and capitals share the same angular construction, with simplified shapes and minimal interior space for maximum solidity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and sports or event graphics where the condensed, angular silhouette can carry at a glance. It also fits industrial-themed packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the faceted details stay clear.
The overall tone feels industrial and assertive, with a no-nonsense, engineered presence. Its faceted construction evokes utilitarian signage and equipment labeling, while the condensed stance adds urgency and punch. The texture reads bold and confident, leaning toward sporty and poster-driven energy rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width by using rigid, faceted construction and sturdy, uniform strokes. By minimizing curves and relying on chamfered corners, it aims for a technical, hard-edged voice that remains highly legible in display use.
Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, creating a tight, high-ink word image in the sample lines. The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C, G, O, Q) and diagonals (A, K, V, W), which helps maintain a cohesive, modular look across mixed case and numerals.
