Sans Faceted Misy 4 is a bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Ramsey' by Associated Typographics, 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, and 'Kurdis' by That That Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, faceted display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners that substitute for curves, creating an octagonal, planar rhythm throughout. Stems are heavy and mostly uniform, with small bevel-like cut-ins at joins and terminals; counters tend to be compact and squared-off, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and steep. The overall silhouette is tall and tightly spaced, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent corner treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or athletic branding, badges, and packaging where its chiseled shapes can read as intentional texture. It can also work for subheads or brief callouts, but the dense, faceted construction is most effective at larger sizes where the corner cuts remain distinct.
The sharp facets and compact proportions give the font a tough, industrial voice with a collegiate scoreboard edge. It feels emphatic and no-nonsense, projecting strength and tradition rather than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, machined, or stenciled sensibility into a compact display alphabet, prioritizing strong silhouettes and repeatable corner facets. It aims for bold presence and a consistent geometric texture across lines of copy.
Uppercase forms read especially architectural, with prominent clipped corners on C/G/O/Q and flat-sided bowls on B/D/P/R. Lowercase echoes the same block construction, keeping ascenders and descenders relatively narrow and maintaining a uniform, chiseled texture in text. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, producing sturdy, sign-like figures.
