Sans Faceted Lyla 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, short x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Proto Mono' by ATK Studio and 'Archimoto V01' by Owl king project (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, monospaced design built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small diagonal facets. Counters tend toward octagonal shapes and terminals end in clean chamfers, giving letters a crisp, machined finish. The rhythm is highly regular due to the fixed character width, with squared proportions and sturdy verticals that keep forms stable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted geometry, and punctuation follows the same squared, minimal construction.
Well suited to code-like UI treatments, in-game interfaces, dashboards, labels, and headings where strict alignment and a crisp, engineered look are desirable. It can also work for posters or branding that aims for an arcade, terminal, or industrial aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the corner facets remain clear.
The faceted geometry and uniform spacing create a utilitarian, tech-forward tone with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. It reads as engineered and game-like—more functional than expressive—while the sharp cuts add a slightly futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/terminal sensibility into cleaner vector forms by using chamfered corners and strict spacing. Its consistent facets and steady rhythm prioritize clarity, alignment, and a distinctive geometric voice over organic curves.
Diagonal corner cuts are used consistently across rounds (C, G, O, S, 0, 8, 9), producing a cohesive octagonal motif. The lowercase is similarly geometric, and the overall texture stays even across long lines thanks to the consistent stroke weight and repeated corner treatment.
