Sans Faceted Nyvu 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Heidth Variable' by Arkitype, 'Kufica' by Artegra, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Fresno' by Parkinson, and 'Branson' by Sensatype Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp planar facets. The letterforms are tall and compact with tight interior counters and squared terminals, producing a rigid vertical rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, engineered construction; round characters like O/C/G read as chamfered polygons, while joins and diagonals stay crisp and consistent. Numerals follow the same narrow, slabby structure with strong vertical emphasis and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where impact and a compact footprint are desired. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from an industrial, technical voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted detailing reads cleanly.
The overall tone is stern and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge reminiscent of stenciled signage and machine labeling. Its faceted geometry adds a hard, architectural feel that reads disciplined and forceful rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and height efficiency while maintaining a distinctive, chiseled silhouette. By consistently substituting curves with chamfered planes, it aims for a mechanical, constructed look that stands apart from conventional condensed sans styles.
Dense counters and narrow apertures can darken at smaller sizes, while the sharp chamfers and straight-sided bowls remain clear in display settings. Spacing appears tight and columnar, reinforcing a compressed, poster-like texture in text lines.
