Sans Faceted Syby 7 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bike Tag JNL' and 'Celluloid JNL' by Jeff Levine and 'Evanston Alehouse' and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend toward squared or rectangular apertures, and terminals finish with crisp chamfers that create an octagonal silhouette across rounds like C, O, and G. The overall color is dense and even, with minimal stroke modulation and a compact, engineered rhythm; diagonals (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and assertive. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey constructions and boxy bowls, while figures are similarly angular and display-oriented.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and title treatments. It also fits interfaces and graphics that benefit from a technical or arcade-like aesthetic, such as game UI, esports visuals, and industrial-themed layouts.
The faceted construction and hard edges give the font a rugged, mechanical tone that reads as utilitarian and high-impact. It evokes retro digital/arcade lettering and industrial labeling, with a no-nonsense, engineered presence that feels technical and slightly militaristic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric system, using faceted corners to suggest speed, machinery, and digital hardware while keeping forms simple and consistent for bold display settings.
Notable is the consistent use of chamfered corners and squared counters, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes while emphasizing a distinctive, machined texture. The wide, flat joins and enclosed shapes contribute to strong sign-like legibility, especially in all caps.
