Sans Faceted Iptu 9 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry and 'Realtime' and 'Realtime Rounded' by Juri Zaech (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from uniform strokes and a strongly geometric, modular construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments with consistent chamfered corners, producing octagonal bowls and faceted terminals across rounds like C, G, O, and 0. Counters are compact and evenly sized, with clear separations and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in strings of text. Uppercase forms feel squared and structured, while the lowercase maintains the same hard-edged logic; the dot on i/j is round, adding a small point of contrast to the otherwise planar language.
It suits interfaces, dashboards, labeling, and signage where consistent spacing and an engineered look are desirable. The sharp, faceted forms also work well for tech-forward branding, packaging callouts, and poster headlines that benefit from a crisp, modular texture.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-digital flavor reminiscent of machine labeling and instrument readouts. The faceted geometry communicates precision and toughness, giving text a crisp, engineered presence rather than a humanist or expressive one.
The design appears intended to translate rounded sans structures into a faceted, planar system that stays consistent across cases and numerals. By standardizing stroke weight and corner treatment, it aims for dependable alignment and a distinctive geometric voice optimized for structured text and data-like settings.
Distinctive facets appear at joins and corners, and many glyphs use clipped diagonals to suggest curvature without soft arcs. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with clear differentiation between shapes and a consistent footprint that supports tabular or coded content.
