A rectilinear, bar-built design where each glyph is constructed from short, separated strokes that trace squared counters and corners. Vertical elements often appear as stacked parallel lines, while horizontals are rendered as compact dash groups, producing a consistent broken rhythm across the set. Curves are translated into stepped, right-angled turns, and many letters feature inset “frame” shapes that emphasize inner counters. Spacing and widths vary by character, and the overall silhouette reads like a schematic outline drawn with discrete segments rather than continuous strokes.
Best suited to large-scale display use where the segmented bars and internal framing can be appreciated—posters, editorial headings, album art, and logotypes. It also fits interface-style graphics, event branding, and tech-themed packaging where a constructed, signal-like texture is desirable. For long passages of small body copy, it will read more as a decorative texture than a conventional text face.
The segmented construction and squared geometry give the face a distinctly digital, code-like tone—part barcode, part circuit diagram. It feels futuristic yet retro, evoking display tech, sci-fi interfaces, and puzzle-like encryption aesthetics. The broken strokes add a mechanical, modular personality that reads as deliberately engineered rather than handwritten or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate familiar Latin forms into a modular, quantized system of short strokes, prioritizing pattern, rhythm, and a technological visual voice. By using discontinuous segments and squared turns, it aims to create an engineered display aesthetic that feels both schematic and playful, balancing legibility with an intentionally coded appearance.
At text sizes the repeated dash pattern can create strong vertical texture and a striped color, while small gaps may visually close in dense settings. The most successful forms rely on clear right-angle structure; letters that depend on diagonals take on a more abstract, encoded look. Numerals and uppercase have especially architectural presence, with counters often suggested by nested rectangular paths.
