Sans Faceted Nyfo 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Diamante Serial' by SoftMaker, 'TS Diamante' by TypeShop Collection, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

An angular, faceted sans with octagonal construction that replaces curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are uniformly heavy with minimal modulation, producing a dense, compact texture. Proportions are tight and vertically oriented, with a tall lowercase and short extenders that keep word shapes compact. Counters tend to be squarish and restrained (notably in O, D, 0, and 8), and joins are hard-edged with consistent corner cuts that create a mechanical rhythm across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and bold packaging statements where its angular construction can be a defining visual motif. It also works well for signage and UI labels that benefit from compact width and strong, geometric letterforms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is functional and forceful, with a technical, engineered feel. Its sharp geometry reads as modern and controlled, suggesting equipment labeling, performance metrics, and high-impact signage rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to translate the clarity of a condensed sans into a distinctly faceted, planar system, emphasizing hard edges and clipped corners for a technical, industrial presence. It prioritizes visual punch and a consistent geometric language over calligraphic nuance, aiming for quick recognition and a strong graphic signature.
The faceting is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a cohesive “machined” voice. Numerals are especially sign-like and sturdy, and the punctuation shown (e.g., apostrophe and question mark) follows the same angular logic for a uniform texture in running text.
