Sans Faceted Niba 8 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'B52' by Komet & Flicker, 'Kairos Sans' by Monotype, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Hype vol 2' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans built from straight strokes and pronounced chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Counters and bowls are largely octagonal, with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals that keep silhouettes dense and compact. The lowercase echoes the same geometric carving, with single-storey forms and angular joins; diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) read sharp and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals are similarly faceted and robust, designed to hold their shape at display sizes with clear internal openings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, angular voice is needed. It works well for sports identity systems, team or event graphics, product packaging, and rugged labeling, and can also support short, punchy UI labels or signage when the goal is a technical, high-impact look.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a sporty, equipment-grade attitude. Its faceted geometry evokes varsity lettering, industrial labeling, and technical signage, giving text an assertive, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to translate a carved, mechanical geometry into a clean sans structure—prioritizing sturdy silhouettes, fast recognition, and a distinctive faceted texture. The consistent chamfers suggest an aim to feel engineered and durable, while keeping letterforms simple enough for bold display use.
The rhythm is tight and monoline, with visual emphasis coming from corner cuts and polygonal counters rather than contrast. The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (O, C, G, 0, 8) and straight-sided letters, creating a cohesive, machined feel in both headlines and short blocks of text.
