Solid Tyhy 10 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Portal' by Fontfabric and 'Friez' by Putracetol (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed display face built from straight segments and chamfered corners, yielding an overall octagonal silhouette across many forms. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid masses with meaning carried by notches, cut-ins, and stepped terminals rather than interior space. Strokes are monoline and geometric, with a rigid, modular rhythm; joins are crisp, and many glyphs show small rectangular bites that suggest a stencil-like construction. Spacing appears sturdy and compact, and the uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered shape language that favors flat tops and bottoms over curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album or event titles, logotypes, packaging callouts, and game or sci‑fi interface styling. It performs most confidently at medium to large sizes where the notch details and faceted corners remain clear, and it can add a strong, industrial voice to branding accents and section headers.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian attitude with a retro-tech edge. Its dense silhouettes and mechanical cut-ins feel industrial and assertive, evoking arcade-era display graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and rugged signage.
The design appears intended to maximize punch and silhouette recognition through solid, faceted forms and consistent chamfering, using stencil-like cutouts to encode character identity without relying on open counters. Its modular geometry suggests a deliberate nod to engineered lettering, optimized for bold display applications rather than extended reading.
Because interior openings are minimized, differentiation relies on distinctive exterior cuts (e.g., on E/F/S/Z and several lowercase forms), which increases graphic impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same chamfered, faceted logic for a cohesive headline texture.
