Sans Faceted Lazu 4 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Mono Spec' by Halbfett and 'Realtime' and 'Realtime Rounded' by Juri Zaech (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, monolinear sans with squared proportions and crisp chamfered corners that turn many curves into short planar segments. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt, often with clipped edges that create a faceted, tool-cut look. Counters are straightforward and fairly open for the size, while the overall texture reads dark and even. The glyph set shows a deliberate, mechanically regular rhythm, reinforced by fixed character widths and steady spacing.
Well-suited to interfaces and layouts that benefit from rigid alignment, such as code snippets, tabular readouts, captions, and technical UI. The sturdy shapes also work effectively for short headlines, labels, packaging, and wayfinding where an industrial, functional voice is desired.
The face conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a slight worn, stamped character. Its angular facets and squared forms evoke industrial labeling, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage, with a subtle retro computing/terminal feel when set in text.
The design appears intended to merge monospaced practicality with a faceted, engineered silhouette—prioritizing consistent rhythm and strong rectangular presence while adding character through chamfers and clipped terminals.
Distinctive faceting appears across both uppercase and lowercase, giving rounded letters a polygonal silhouette rather than smooth arcs. Numerals follow the same blocky construction, producing a consistent, grid-friendly color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
