Sans Faceted Lyga 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' and 'Kabyta' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Midsole' by Grype, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, multi-sided shapes. Forms feel modular and grid-driven, with consistent stroke thickness and frequent octagonal counters (notably in round letters and numerals). Terminals are square and abrupt, and joins are crisp, producing a compact, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with a single-storey a and g, and simplified, blocky punctuation-style details such as rectangular i/j dots.
Best suited to display roles where the faceted construction is a feature: headlines, logotypes, product branding, and short UI labels for dashboards or game/HUD-style interfaces. It can work for brief paragraphs at larger sizes, but the angular detailing is most effective when given room to resolve cleanly.
The overall tone reads engineered and assertive, evoking hardware interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-futuristic display aesthetics. Its sharp geometry and corner-cut silhouettes suggest precision and durability, with a slightly game/arcade edge in the way counters and diagonals lock to a grid.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans structure into a planar, machined look by systematically cutting corners and enforcing straight-segment construction. The goal is a sturdy, high-impact voice that remains legible while projecting a technical, futuristic character.
Distinctive features include the chamfered O/Q/0 family, an angular S with stepped horizontals, and numerals that echo digital/industrial signage rather than humanist forms. The texture stays even across lines of text, though the faceting creates a busier surface than a rounded geometric sans at the same size.
