Sans Faceted Tyji 1 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, and 'Hyperspace Race' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped corners and flat planes. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with squared terminals and frequent 45° chamfers that give counters and bowls an octagonal feel. The x-height is notably large, with compact ascenders and descenders, producing a dense texture in text. Letterforms are straight-sided and tightly spaced in silhouette, while widths vary by character, keeping the rhythm lively without losing the rigid, engineered geometry.
Best suited for display settings where crisp, angular forms can carry impact—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits UI or entertainment contexts that benefit from a techno/arcade atmosphere, and works well for short labels, jerseys, or product titling where compact width helps conserve space.
The overall tone feels industrial and game-like, evoking stenciled hardware markings, arcade UI, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its sharp facets and strict verticality read as precise and mechanical, projecting a utilitarian confidence with a slightly retro-digital edge.
The font appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice using planar facets and chamfered geometry, prioritizing a mechanical, futuristic aesthetic over softness or calligraphic nuance. Its large x-height and uniform stroke strategy aim for bold legibility and a consistent, systemized look across text and numerals.
The design emphasizes strong internal cut-ins and notched corners, which keeps shapes recognizable even with minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, supporting a consistent, system-like voice across alphanumerics.
