Sans Faceted Tyke 6 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, 'Alternate Gothic' by Linotype, 'Dense' by North Type, 'Bessemer' by Sivioco, and 'Alternate Gothic Pro' by SoftMaker (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-friendly sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets. Stems are uniform in thickness with squared terminals, and bowls/counters read as octagonal or chamfered shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals). Proportions are tall and tightly set, with narrow letter widths and compact internal spaces that stay crisp at display sizes. Lowercase forms are similarly rigid and vertical, with minimal modulation and a consistent geometric rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format labeling where the faceted geometry can be appreciated and the condensed width helps fit long titles into tight spaces. It also fits signage, sports/event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, technical voice. For extended reading at small sizes, the narrow proportions and tight counters are likely better used sparingly as an accent face.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered—clean, tough, and slightly retro, like stenciled signage or scoreboard lettering translated into a faceted geometric system. Its clipped corners add a technical, machined personality that reads confident and purposeful rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that retains clarity while projecting a constructed, angular identity. By systematically chamfering curves and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a recognizable display texture that feels engineered and contemporary with a nod to vintage industrial lettering.
The faceting is applied consistently, giving rounded letters a disciplined octagonal silhouette while keeping diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) sharp and stable. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture, and the dense, vertical rhythm creates strong word-shape bands in longer lines of text.
