Sans Faceted Nypi 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kiosk' by Fenotype, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, 'Expat' by Parker Creative, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, all-caps-forward display sans built from sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes stay essentially uniform, producing a clean, poster-like solidity with deep rectangular counters and consistent vertical emphasis. The rhythm is compact and mechanical, with squared terminals and chamfered joins giving rounded letters an octagonal silhouette; diagonals are used sparingly and kept sturdy, preserving a rigid, engineered texture across words and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, team or event branding, and bold signage where its condensed width and faceted shapes can form a strong vertical texture. It can also work for labels and simple UI callouts when used at sizes large enough to preserve the angular details.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a crisp, controlled energy that reads as industrial and performance-driven. Its faceted geometry evokes vintage signage and athletic numerals, projecting confidence and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, geometric voice. By translating curves into chamfered planes and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a rugged, engineered look that remains legible and consistent across letters and figures.
Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction rather than becoming more calligraphic, keeping the voice consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly faceted and columnar, reinforcing the font’s structured, technical feel in data-like contexts.
