Sans Faceted Lyla 12 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Ki' by Mint Type and 'Archimoto V01' and 'Nue Archimoto' by Owl king project (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, geometric display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal-like joins. Strokes are uniformly thick with squared terminals and consistent internal counters, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Proportions are broad and stable, with simple construction in forms like E/F/T and pronounced chamfers on rounded letters such as C/G/O/Q. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with single-storey a and g and a boxy, architectural rhythm throughout.
Best suited for short-form display work where the angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding accents. It also fits interface-style graphics, labels, and signage where a rigid, mechanical voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, with a retro digital/arcade edge. Its sharp facets and sturdy blocks read as confident and functional, evoking stenciled signage, industrial labeling, and pixel-era sci‑fi interfaces.
The design appears intended to translate a purely geometric, straight-edged construction into an alphabet with consistent rhythm and strong silhouette. By standardizing chamfers and avoiding true curves, it aims for a crisp, industrial aesthetic that stays uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Diagonal forms (K, V, W, X, Y) are built from straight segments and sharp intersections, keeping the texture consistent at both large and small sizes. Numerals echo the same faceted construction—especially 0, 6, 8, and 9—reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance across the set.
