A slanted, segmented display face built from short horizontal dashes that interrupt the strokes into rhythmic bands. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint but read as expansive because of long, flat terminals and extended top bars, with crisp corners and minimal curvature. The construction produces strong internal striping and deliberate gaps, keeping the outlines airy while maintaining clear silhouettes. Lowercase forms appear compact with a modest x-height relative to the ascenders, and numerals follow the same banded, forward-leaning logic for consistent texture in text.
Well-suited for display typography where a dynamic, high-tech texture is desirable—posters, titles, product marks, sports or racing themes, and interface or HUD-style graphics. It also works for short callouts and packaging accents where the striped construction can read as a graphic motif.
The repeated dash pattern and forward slant create a sense of motion and electronic precision, evoking scanlines, telemetry, and racing instrumentation. Overall it feels modern and energetic with a distinct retro-digital edge.
The design appears intended to translate a fast, digitized aesthetic into an italic display alphabet by constructing each glyph from evenly spaced bars, creating a scanline-like signature while preserving recognizable letter shapes.
Because many strokes are intentionally broken, the design’s texture becomes more prominent as size decreases; it performs best when the dash pattern has room to resolve. The strong horizontal emphasis gives lines a tight, mechanical rhythm, especially in all-caps settings.
