Sans Faceted Ilwy 8 is a regular weight, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'The Corps 86' by Almarkha Type, 'Gibstone' by Eko Bimantara, 'Orecla' by Maulana Creative, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small chamfers that create an octagonal, faceted silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with uniform stroke widths and largely squared terminals; round letters like C, G, O, Q, and S read as multi-sided outlines rather than smooth bowls. The lowercase follows the same geometry with a high x-height and simple, sturdy constructions; counters are compact and openings are controlled, giving an overall tight rhythm. Numerals echo the same angular logic, with distinctive, segmented curves and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well-suited to headlines and short emphatic text where the angular facet details can be appreciated, such as posters, labels, and branding. The condensed build also makes it useful for space-constrained applications like signage, wayfinding, and UI/UX elements that need a technical, structured voice.
The overall tone is mechanical and engineered, suggesting precision, hardware, and fabricated surfaces. Its faceted curves and narrow stance give it a modern, tech-forward feel with a hint of athletic/jersey energy, while remaining clean and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a geometric, fabricated look by translating traditional curved sans forms into chamfered, polygonal shapes. The goal seems to be a compact, high-impact sans that reads cleanly while projecting a precise, industrial character.
The repeated corner cuts create a consistent visual motif across both text and isolated glyphs, producing a crisp texture at display sizes. In continuous reading, the condensed proportions and uniform strokes emphasize verticality and create a compact, structured color.
