Sans Faceted Nydu 3 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nextrue' by Asenbayu, 'Cooperative' by Hafontia, 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, 'Bessemer' by Sivioco, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-capable display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp, planar facets. Stems are uniform in thickness with squared terminals and frequent chamfering at joins, creating an octagonal rhythm throughout bowls and diagonals. Proportions are tight and vertical, with compact counters and a controlled, engineered texture that stays consistent from capitals through numerals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed geometry can read as intentional: sports branding, event posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for UI labels or section headers when a hard-edged, technical voice is desired and sizes are kept generous.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and purposeful, evoking stenciled signage, equipment labeling, and scoreboard typography. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance communicate urgency and strength, with a distinctly sporty, industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact condensed look with a consistent faceted construction, providing the feel of precision-cut shapes while maintaining straightforward sans letterforms. It aims for strong vertical economy and a tough, engineered character that remains recognizable across the full alphanumeric set.
The faceting is especially apparent in rounded forms (like O/Q and 0/8/9), where corners define the silhouette and keep the color dense. The narrow set and compact internal space create a strong headline presence, but also make letterforms read as more rigid and technical than conversational.
