A modular display face built from short horizontal dashes arranged on a pixel-like grid. Forms are largely open and segmented, with only occasional longer bars used as caps or baselines, creating airy counters and lots of white space inside and around letters. Curves are implied through stepped placements of dashes, producing geometric, squared-off rounds and a distinctly quantized rhythm. Overall spacing feels generous and the glyph construction reads more like a set of structured signals than continuous strokes.
Best suited to large-size display work where the segmented dash construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, album artwork, and tech-leaning identities. It can also work as an accent font in interfaces or motion graphics for labels, readouts, and brief calls-to-action, especially when paired with a more conventional text face for body copy.
The broken, bar-by-bar construction conveys a distinctly electronic tone—part retro terminal, part instrument panel. Its sparse marks and repeating dash rhythm feel coded and technical, suggesting data, measurement, and schematic communication rather than handwriting or classical typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret digital readout logic in alphabetic form, using repeatable dash modules to build recognizable glyphs while preserving a strong screen-like texture. The emphasis is on creating a distinctive, coded visual voice rather than maximizing continuous-stroke legibility.
Because many characters share the same dash modules, the design has strong internal consistency and a recognizable texture at the line level. The segmented construction can reduce distinctiveness at small sizes, but it creates a striking striped pattern in headlines and short phrases.
