Sans Faceted Tyle 3 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Akzidenz-Grotesk Next' by Berthold, 'Ordina' by Schriftlabor, and 'Hoxton' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, faceted sans with simplified shapes and planar, chiseled-looking curves. Strokes stay heavy and fairly even, but edges and joins are deliberately irregular, creating a cut-paper or carved-block feel rather than smooth geometry. Counters are compact and often slightly off-round, while terminals tend to end bluntly with angled cuts. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm that reads as intentionally hand-formed.
This font is best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, cover art, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can work well in children’s materials, comics, or game UI where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. For longer passages, its irregular rhythm and dense counters suggest using generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a quirky, retro energy. Its jagged facets and uneven rhythm feel crafty and expressive, leaning toward comic, game-like, or poster lettering rather than restrained editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a faceted, hand-cut texture. By trading smooth curves for planar cuts and allowing slight irregularities across forms, it aims for an energetic, crafted look that stays legible while feeling expressive.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0/8/9 emphasize the faceted construction, with corners subtly flattened instead of fully curved. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a tall, simple i with a small square dot, reinforcing the casual, handmade voice. The numeral set is similarly chunky and angled, matching the alphabet’s cut, blocky construction.
