A condensed, modular display face built from tightly packed vertical bars with small horizontal breaks that carve each character into a striped silhouette. Strokes are monoline in feel, with interior counters and joins implied through gaps rather than continuous outlines, producing a crisp, quantized edge. The overall texture is strongly vertical, with consistent bar rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures; curves are simplified into stepped, segmented forms while straight-sided letters remain rigid and rectangular.
Best suited to display applications where a strong graphic texture is desirable: posters, album/film titles, tech or industrial branding, packaging accents, and short UI labels. It can also work for number-heavy uses like product codes or event numbering when set with generous size and tracking.
The font reads as industrial and electronic, evoking barcode labeling, scanlines, and signal interference. Its broken construction adds a subtle glitch effect while staying legible, giving it a techno, machine-made tone rather than a decorative or handwritten one.
The design appears intended to mimic scanline/barcode construction while preserving conventional letter skeletons for readability. It prioritizes a distinctive vertical rhythm and modular consistency, creating a compact, high-impact look for contemporary, technology-leaning communication.
Because much of each glyph is composed of repeated vertical elements, word shapes create a pronounced striping pattern; the distinguishing features often come from small cut-ins and notches, especially in bowls and diagonals. This makes spacing and size important—at very small sizes the characters can visually converge into uniform texture.
