Sans Faceted Tyle 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Shelf' by 21Type, 'Allotrope' by Kostic, 'Copihue' by Letritas, and 'Quercus Sans' by Storm Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing round joins with planar chamfers. Curves are interpreted as multi-sided forms, giving counters a squarish, faceted look (notably in O, C, G, and 0). Terminals tend to be flat and abrupt, with consistent stroke weight and compact apertures that keep silhouettes dense. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many letters with generous x-height, and the overall rhythm is tight and uniform, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and short bursts of copy where a strong silhouette is desirable. It can work well for tech products, industrial themes, sports identity, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage, especially in large sizes where the facets read clearly.
The faceted construction and hard edges convey an industrial, machine-made tone with a contemporary tech flavor. Its sturdy, no-nonsense shapes suggest durability and performance, reading as confident and somewhat militaristic or athletic without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to translate a standard grotesque skeleton into a sharp, modular, faceted geometry that maintains legibility while maximizing impact. Its consistent corner treatment and dense forms suggest an intention to feel engineered and contemporary, with a distinctive edge-driven personality.
The design relies on repeated chamfer angles across the alphabet, creating a coherent system of corners that helps letters stay recognizable at a glance. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, with the slashed zero adding a pragmatic, engineered feel to the set.
