A modular display face constructed from small, evenly sized rectangular dashes and a few thin vertical stems. Letterforms are mostly open and squared, with corners implied by gaps rather than continuous curves, creating a stepped, quantized silhouette. Stroke thickness stays consistent throughout, while the dash spacing establishes a clear grid rhythm; diagonals and curves are suggested through staggered segments. Proportions tend toward generous width with straightforward, upright construction, and the overall texture reads airy due to the frequent breaks in the strokes.
Best suited to display settings where the segmented construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, splash screens, and short UI labels or status readouts. It also works well for retro-tech branding moments, event graphics, and title cards, especially when paired with simple supporting text.
The broken, segmented construction evokes LED readouts, early computer graphics, and arcade-era interfaces. Its grid-based rhythm feels technical and instrument-like, with a playful retro-futurist edge that fits electronic and game-adjacent aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate seven-segment and dot-matrix display ideas into a fuller alphabet, using a strict dash module to keep every glyph consistent. It prioritizes a distinctive digital texture and grid rhythm over continuous outlines, aiming for a recognizable, interface-like voice in large, attention-grabbing text.
Because the forms are built from separated elements, counters and joins can visually soften at small sizes; the font’s character depends heavily on the consistent dash cadence and the distinctive gaps that define each glyph. Numerals and capitals present as sign-like and schematic, while lowercase maintains the same segmented logic for a cohesive system.
