Sans Faceted Nyly 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Elephantmen Greater & Taller' by Comicraft, 'JAF Bernini Sans' by Just Another Foundry, 'Size' by SD Fonts, and 'Bungo' by Typeskets (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with crisp, planar facets replacing curves. Strokes are monolinear and heavy, with corners cut into consistent chamfers that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette across rounds like C, O, and G. Counters are compact and vertical stress dominates, giving the face a tall, efficient rhythm; lowercase follows the same squared-off construction with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding that needs a compact footprint with high impact. It also fits labels, packaging, and signage systems where an industrial, machined voice is desired and the faceted shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking stenciled hardware, scoreboard lettering, and mid‑century industrial labeling. Its sharp corners and compressed proportions read as purposeful and performance-driven rather than casual or lyrical.
The design appears intended to translate a mechanical, cut-metal aesthetic into a compact sans: curves are rationalized into straight segments, weight is kept steady, and proportions are tightened for punchy, space-saving display typography.
Numerals and caps share the same chamfered geometry, helping mixed settings feel cohesive. The face keeps forms open where possible for a condensed design, but the dense interior spaces suggest it will look strongest at display sizes or with generous tracking.
