Sans Faceted Tyzi 1 is a regular weight, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, oblique sans with sharply faceted construction: bowls and curves are replaced by clipped corners and short straight segments, creating an octagonal, planar feel throughout. Strokes stay fairly uniform with clean, hard terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letters a tight, efficient rhythm. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures are small, and the overall spacing reads as lean and performance-oriented. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, and diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y feel crisp and mechanically consistent.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a sharp, high-velocity look is desired—such as sports identity, athletic apparel graphics, tech or automotive visuals, and industrial-style packaging. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and numbering where a compact, assertive voice is helpful.
The overall tone is fast, engineered, and modern, with a hint of sci‑fi instrumentation. Its faceted shapes evoke machined parts, motorsport markings, and tactical labeling, projecting precision and momentum rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a streamlined italic sans into a hard-edged, faceted system, prioritizing a machined, aerodynamic impression. The consistent chamfers and restrained stroke behavior suggest a focus on contemporary display impact and a cohesive, technical texture across letters and figures.
The italic slant and condensed proportions reinforce a forward-leaning, high-energy presence, while the repeated chamfer motif ties rounds, corners, and terminals into a single cohesive texture. Readability remains strongest at display and subhead sizes where the corner-cut details can resolve clearly.
