A geometric, sans-serif design built from horizontally segmented bars that create deliberate gaps through each stroke. The letterforms keep clean, modern proportions with rounded curves in bowls and smooth terminals, but the repeated dash pattern introduces a strong scanline texture and a light stenciled feel. Counters remain open and legible at display sizes, while the internal striping varies in density across curves and diagonals, giving the shapes a lively, slightly flickering rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and short bursts of text where the scanline texture can be appreciated. It works especially well in tech, music, and event graphics, and in motion or screen-based applications where its segmented construction reinforces a digital theme.
The overall tone feels like retro-digital instrumentation and screen artifacts—part computer terminal, part broadcast interference. It reads as energetic and technical, with a controlled “signal distortion” character that suggests motion and electronic noise without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge straightforward sans-serif readability with a dash-built, screen-like texture, creating a display face that feels electronic and animated while keeping familiar, contemporary letter shapes.
Diagonals and curved letters show the most pronounced striping variation, which emphasizes directionality and can create a mild vibration effect in tightly set text. The design has a strong black presence from its outer contours, while the internal breaks reduce perceived heaviness and add texture.
