A modular display face built from short horizontal bars, leaving deliberate gaps that create a segmented, scanline-like texture. Strokes are uniform in thickness and predominantly horizontal, with vertical structure implied through stacked dashes rather than continuous stems. Corners read crisp and rectilinear, counters are airy and open, and many characters have small overhangs or offset segments that add a slightly irregular, constructed rhythm. Proportions are expansive, producing broad silhouettes and a strong left-to-right emphasis in words.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the segmented texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for interface labels, on-screen displays, and motion/graphic overlays when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the internal gaps.
The overall tone feels electronic and system-driven, like readouts on older terminals or segmented instrumentation. Its broken-bar construction adds a mild glitch or transmission quality while remaining clean and orderly, giving it a cool, technical attitude with a retro edge.
The design appears intended to translate pixel-era logic into a bold, graphic word-shape using repeated horizontal units. By building letters from discrete dashes, it aims to evoke electronic display aesthetics while maintaining legibility through consistent modular rules and strong geometric proportions.
Because the forms rely on separated bars, fine details and tight spacing can visually merge into banding, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive striped texture. The numerals and punctuation share the same bar logic, reinforcing a consistent, engineered look across copy.
