Sans Faceted Lyle 9 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Charles Wright' by K-Type and 'Nue Archimoto' by Owl king project (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal joins. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness throughout, creating a clean, engineered rhythm with strong, even color on the page. Counters and apertures are squared-off and clipped, and terminals often end in diagonal cuts that give letters a machined, modular feel. The overall proportions are compact and sturdy, with a low-contrast, geometric construction that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase, as well as in numerals.
It performs well where alignment and regular spacing matter, such as UI labels, tables, terminals, code snippets, and technical readouts. The strong, angular silhouettes also suit posters, game interfaces, packaging accents, and signage-style headlines that benefit from an industrial, faceted look.
The faceted geometry conveys an industrial, technical tone—suggesting hardware, instrumentation, and engineered signage. Its angular cuts add a slightly retro digital flavor, evoking early computer, arcade, or scoreboard aesthetics while staying pragmatic and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to translate a mechanical, chamfered construction into a highly consistent character set, prioritizing uniform rhythm and clear, modular silhouettes. By systematically faceting rounded forms and keeping stroke behavior consistent, it aims for a robust, technical voice suitable for interface and display contexts.
The consistent facet treatment across rounds (like O, C, G, and 0) establishes a cohesive visual system, and the uniform character footprint encourages orderly, grid-like setting. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, reinforcing a display-friendly, label-ready presence.
