A condensed, heavy sans with rounded corners and mostly uniform stroke weight, built from stacked horizontal bars that leave regular gaps through each letterform. The segmentation creates a consistent striped texture across the set, while overall silhouettes remain clear and geometric. Curves are softened into squarish rounds, counters are compact, and joins stay simple, giving the face a sturdy, engineered feel. The rhythm is defined as much by the repeated internal cutouts as by the outer shapes, producing a strong pattern at both display and text sizes.
Best suited for display uses where its striped construction can be a feature—posters, headlines, logotypes, product packaging, and bold labels. It also fits tech-forward or industrial branding, and can work for apparel or event graphics where a strong patterned texture is desirable.
The repeated horizontal breaks suggest machinery, scanning, or signal interference, giving the font a technical and slightly disruptive tone. It reads as functional and industrial, with a controlled “glitch” character that feels systematic rather than chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge a solid, condensed grotesque skeleton with a regimented dash/stripe treatment, creating a distinctive surface pattern while preserving readable silhouettes. The consistent horizontal segmentation suggests a focus on optical texture and a “scanned” or manufactured aesthetic for attention-grabbing typography.
Because the internal striping is constant across glyphs, large blocks of text create a pronounced banding effect that can become the dominant visual feature. The rounded terminals and compact apertures help maintain recognition despite the interruptions, but the texture is most impactful when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
