Sans Faceted Sylo 7 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AC 1928' by Antoine Crama, 'FS Elliot' and 'FS Elliot Paneuropean' by Fontsmith, 'Mersin' by Hurufatfont, 'Portheras' by Identity Letters, and 'Chantilly Serial' by SoftMaker (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built display sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, creating sturdy silhouettes with a slightly condensed inner counter feel in letters like O, Q, and 8. The geometry leans on octagonal/hexagonal cuts, producing sharp terminals and squared joins; round forms become multi-sided, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y read as strong, straight planes. Spacing and widths vary per glyph but maintain a tight, compact rhythm, and the lowercase follows the same faceted construction with sturdy stems and minimal modulation.
Best suited for large sizes where the planar cuts and heavy geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, and branding marks. It also fits sportswear/jersey-style graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels where an assertive, rugged voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an engineered, machined character that feels sporty and industrial. The faceting adds a retro sign-and-jersey flavor while keeping the voice modern and punchy, projecting strength and immediacy rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machined display style—prioritizing impact, consistency of angular construction, and a strong graphic texture in both text lines and standalone initials.
The sample text shows good impact in short words and headlines, with the faceted forms staying consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Punctuation and dots appear square and weighty, matching the blocky texture; the “0” and “O” share the same octagonal logic, and the “1” is a simple vertical stroke for maximal clarity.
