A segmented, monoline display face built from evenly spaced horizontal bars, leaving consistent gaps that create a scanline-like texture. Stems and bowls are constructed with squared corners and modular proportions, producing crisp, rectilinear silhouettes with open counters and deliberate discontinuities. The stroke pattern stays consistent across the alphabet and figures, giving the set a cohesive rhythm while preserving legibility through strong outer outlines and simple, geometric structures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, and on-screen UI labels where the segmented texture can be appreciated. It works particularly well for sci‑fi or retro-tech themed branding, game graphics, and title treatments; for small body text, the bar gaps may become visually busy or soften into a uniform tone.
The repeating bar segments evoke screens, readouts, and signal artifacts, giving the type a distinctly electronic, retro-computing mood. Its disciplined modular construction feels technical and engineered, with a subtle glitch/scanline character that reads as modern-digital as well as vintage terminal-inspired.
The design appears intended to translate pixel-era display logic into a cleaner, scalable typographic system, using repeated horizontal segments to suggest scanning or digital output. It prioritizes distinctive texture and a technical atmosphere while keeping letterforms straightforward enough to remain readable in short to medium passages.
The horizontal striping becomes a prominent texture in longer lines of text, creating a banded gray value and an animated feel even when static. Numerals and capitals hold a sturdy, squared presence, while the lowercase maintains clear forms that read well at display sizes where the dash pattern remains distinct.
