Sans Faceted Lapu 9 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nicomedia' by Artegra and 'Celdum' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with consistent chamfered corners, giving curves an octagonal, faceted feel. Strokes are monolinear with flat terminals, and the overall construction favors rectangular counters and straight-sided bowls. Proportions read sturdy and slightly extended, with generous horizontal spans and clear, open apertures in many letters, while rounded letters (O, C, G) resolve into crisp planar segments. Numerals match the same cut-corner logic, maintaining a uniform, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display work where its angular construction can read as a deliberate stylistic choice: headlines, posters, logotypes, product/tech packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style titling. It also fits interface-style labels, dashboards, and game UI where bold, mechanical letterforms help maintain recognition at medium-to-large sizes.
The faceted geometry projects a technical, industrial tone—like signage cut from metal or a sci‑fi interface. Its sharp corners and modular rhythm feel purposeful and utilitarian, leaning toward retro-future and arcade/console aesthetics rather than friendly or calligraphic expression.
The design appears intended to translate a sans skeleton into a faceted, cut-corner system, replacing smooth curves with planar segments for a manufactured, futuristic look. It prioritizes consistency of geometry and a robust, high-impact presence for attention-grabbing typography.
The texture stays consistent in both uppercase and lowercase, with simplified, blocky silhouettes and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, producing strong word shapes in display sizes, and the squared counters help preserve clarity in short labels and numerals.
