Sans Faceted Nyfo 1 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, and 'Ordax' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace many curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with squared terminals and consistent, rectangular counter shapes that read cleanly at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) appear as octagonal/rounded-rectangle constructions, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and taut, giving the alphabet a rigid, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with sturdy, compact forms and clipped corners.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branded display typography where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports identities, tactical/industrial theming, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage, especially in short bursts of text where its faceted construction becomes a visual signature.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and athletic or military-inspired graphics. Its condensed proportions and hard edges feel assertive and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, performance-minded energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a space-efficient width while maintaining a distinctive, machined geometry. By standardizing chamfered corners and squared counters across letters and figures, it aims for a cohesive, rugged display system that stays legible under bold, high-contrast reproduction.
The faceting creates a distinctive texture in text: corners and inner joins stay crisp while apertures remain relatively tight, producing a dense, impact-oriented line. Mixed-case use remains cohesive because the lowercase echoes the same chamfered, squared construction rather than introducing calligraphic contrast.
