Sans Faceted Sylo 8 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ondo' by JAM Type Design, 'Proper Tavern' by Larin Type Co, and 'Axiforma' and 'Post Grotesk' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with sharply cut corners and faceted, planar shaping that replaces curves with straight segments. Bowls and counters tend toward octagonal forms (notably in C, G, O, Q and numerals), with consistent chamfering at joins and terminals that creates a crisp, machined rhythm. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact apertures and sturdy, rectangular stems; lowercase forms echo the same faceting, producing a cohesive, block-built texture in text.
Best suited to display contexts where bold presence and angular character are assets: headlines, poster typography, logotypes, team or event branding, and title screens. It can work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to keep the faceted counters and apertures clear.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a competitive, high-impact feel. Its angular geometry evokes utilitarian signage and retro game or sports aesthetics, reading as assertive and energetic rather than friendly or delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through a faceted, chamfered construction that feels engineered and durable. The consistent polygonal logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention to create a strong, easily recognizable voice for branding and display typography.
The faceting introduces distinctive internal angles and small notches in several letters, which adds character but also increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same octagonal construction, helping headlines and displays feel unified across alphanumerics.
