A segmented, geometric display face built from short, disconnected horizontal and vertical strokes. Letterforms sit on a strict square grid with open corners and frequent breaks, producing a dotted/fragmented contour rather than continuous outlines. Curves are implied through stepped, rectangular turns (notably in C, G, S, and 2/3), while round letters like O and Q read as squared rings with gaps. Spacing and sidebearings vary by glyph, giving the alphabet a constructed, modular rhythm in text.
Best suited for interface-style labeling, game HUDs, splash screens, and sci‑fi or tech-forward headlines where the segmented texture is a feature. It can also work for short logotypes or package callouts, especially when paired with clean supporting text. For long paragraphs, the frequent breaks and modular shapes are more effective at display sizes than at small body text.
The overall tone is technical and synthetic, evoking instrumentation, retro computing, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its broken strokes add a sense of signal, scanning, or low-resolution display output—precise but intentionally incomplete and schematic.
The design appears intended to mimic quantized display lettering—constructed from discrete bars to suggest electronic segments rather than drawn strokes. By using gaps and right-angled geometry, it aims to deliver a futuristic, system-like voice with strong visual texture and a programmable, grid-based feel.
Diagonal structures are simplified into stepped segments (as seen in V, W, X, and Y), and several lowercase forms lean toward single-stem, schematic constructions that prioritize the grid over traditional pen-like shapes. The many intentional gaps mean fine details can soften at small sizes, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive segmented texture.
