Sans Faceted Tyba 9 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Alilato Arabic' by Alilato, 'Halifax' by Hoftype, 'Accia Sans' by Mint Type, and 'Core Sans N SC' and 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from heavy, even strokes with crisp, chamfered corners that turn round forms into multi-sided, faceted shapes. Curves are consistently replaced by short planar segments, producing octagonal counters in letters like O and C and a distinctly machined silhouette across the set. Proportions lean wide and stable with squared terminals and minimal modulation, creating a compact, high-impact texture. Spacing appears straightforward and functional, and the lowercase follows the same angular logic as the caps, keeping the overall rhythm uniform and assertive.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its faceted shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems with an industrial or tech tone. It can also work well on packaging and signage where a tough, engineered voice is desirable and high contrast isn’t required for character.
The faceted construction gives the font a mechanical, engineered feel, as if the letters were cut from metal or molded from hard plastic. It reads as confident and utilitarian, with a sporty, techno-forward attitude that emphasizes strength and precision over softness.
The design intention appears to be a geometric sans with a deliberately cut, planar construction that turns familiar letterforms into hard-surfaced shapes. It aims to deliver a strong display presence and a distinctive, machined aesthetic while keeping the overall forms conventional enough to remain quickly recognizable.
Several glyphs highlight the design’s hard-edged system, including the angular bowl joins in B and R, the straight-sided curves in S, and the polygonal numerals that echo the same chamfered corners. The punctuation and dots appear simple and sturdy, reinforcing the no-nonsense, industrial tone.
