Sans Faceted Tyji 8 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry and 'Evanston Alehouse', 'Evanston Tavern', and 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy-stroked sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes read as near-monolinear with squared terminals and consistent, sturdy joins. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O/Q/0 and 8/9), while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y are steep and crisp, reinforcing a rigid rhythm. Lowercase forms keep the same angular logic with simplified bowls and short, squared shoulders, yielding a uniform, forceful texture in setting.
Best suited to display sizes where its faceted details and dense presence can read clearly—headlines, posters, team/athletic graphics, bold packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, no-nonsense tone is desired, though the compact counters suggest avoiding long body text.
The overall tone is tough, utilitarian, and assertive, with strong associations to sports lettering, industrial signage, and rugged product branding. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-technical flavor that feels engineered rather than handwritten or organic.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate cut metal or stencil-like block construction, prioritizing impact and durability of shape. The consistent chamfers and geometric counters suggest an intention to deliver a strong, engineered voice that stays legible and visually unified across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design favors blunt clarity over softness: corner chamfers create distinct internal notches in letters like B, S, and 2, and the numeral set matches the caps in weight and angularity for a cohesive display voice. The punctuation shown (period, question mark, ampersand, apostrophe, colon) follows the same squared, heavy treatment.
