Sans Faceted Syni 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' and 'Dexa Round' by Artegra, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Plau Redonda' by Plau, and 'Gymkhana' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal counters. Strokes remain uniform, with squared terminals and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel. Uppercase letters are broad and compact with tight apertures, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, utilitarian rhythm; counters in characters like O/Q and 8 read as faceted, polygonal shapes. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, producing consistent, sign-like silhouettes and a dense overall color in text.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, sports or team identities, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works effectively for short UI labels, badges, and signage where a rugged, faceted look is desired.
The faceted construction and compact massing create a tough, no-nonsense tone that feels athletic and industrial. Its sharp geometry also evokes retro arcade and scoreboard aesthetics, projecting energy and impact rather than delicacy or warmth.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact using a consistent cut-corner geometry, translating traditional sans structures into a faceted, machined aesthetic. The goal seems to be strong recognition and a distinctive silhouette for attention-driven applications.
The chopped corners create distinctive interior shapes that stay recognizable at display sizes, while the dense fill and tight openings can make long passages feel visually heavy. The design reads best when allowed space to breathe through generous tracking or larger sizes.
