Sans Faceted Nypa 8 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neue Farmero' by Kaligra.co, 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, and 'Black Phantom Pro' by Salamahtype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with sharp, planar corner cuts that replace conventional curves, giving bowls and terminals an octagonal, faceted feel. Strokes are consistently heavy with little contrast, producing a dense, high-impact texture and a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are narrow and apertures are tight, while joins and terminals end in crisp, squared-off shapes; diagonals are restrained and simplified to match the geometric language. Overall spacing reads compact, with a disciplined, columnar silhouette that stays legible in large sizes and short bursts of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a tight footprint and strong impact are useful. It also fits signage, labels, and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look. Use at medium-to-large sizes to let the faceted corners and compact counters remain clear.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—stern, mechanical, and slightly retro in the way it echoes machine labeling and early display signage. Its sharp facets add a technical edge that feels engineered rather than expressive, projecting authority and solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a hard, machined aesthetic. By standardizing corners into crisp facets and keeping strokes uniform, it aims for a consistent, robust texture that reads as modern-industrial and display-oriented.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounded forms, giving O/C/G/Q and numerals a unified, chamfered construction. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with single-storey forms and simplified detailing that maintain the condensed cadence. Numerals are tall and compact, matching the uppercase presence and reinforcing a signage-like, space-efficient color.
