A segmented, dash-built sans with glyphs constructed from stacked horizontal bars and intermittent gaps. The design reads as monoline and geometric, with mostly squared terminals and a consistent banded texture across letters and figures. Proportions are broadly set with generous width and slightly boxy counters, while curves are implied through stepped, broken segments rather than continuous outlines. Spacing and rhythm emphasize the repeated stripe motif, producing strong patterning in both uppercase and lowercase, with clear differentiation of forms despite the discontinuities.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where the scanline texture can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title cards, logotypes, and UI labels in tech or sci‑fi themed interfaces. It can also work for packaging accents, event graphics, or album art where a digital/industrial mood is desired, while longer body copy will benefit from larger sizes and ample tracking.
The repeating horizontal dashes create a distinctly digital, scanline-like tone that feels retro-futuristic and technical. Its broken construction suggests instrumentation, terminals, and coded displays, with a subtle glitch/stencil energy that adds attitude without becoming chaotic. Overall it projects a cool, engineered voice suited to tech-forward branding and stylistic headlines.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel/terminal aesthetic into a clean typographic system by building each glyph from consistent horizontal dashes. The goal seems to be a strong, repeatable texture that signals “digital” while retaining familiar sans-serif skeletons for recognizability in display use.
In text settings the horizontal striping becomes the dominant texture, producing a cohesive “barcode” rhythm across words. The discontinuous strokes can reduce legibility at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs, but the consistent segmentation keeps characters recognizable and gives numerals a strong, display-oriented presence.
