A geometric sans with bold, rounded forms that are systematically interrupted by horizontal bands, creating a consistent “scanline” or segmented-bar construction across the alphabet and figures. Strokes read as solid mass at a distance, but up close resolve into evenly spaced dashes with occasional irregular breaks that add texture. Counters remain fairly open and the overall silhouette stays clean and stable despite the internal fragmentation, helping the letters maintain recognition in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same banded logic, with smooth curves and firm terminals that emphasize a contemporary, engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the striped texture can read as a visual motif—posters, headlines, packaging accents, tech-themed branding, album covers, and event graphics. It can work for subheads or short blocks of copy at generous sizes, but the internal segmentation is most effective when not pushed too small.
The repeated horizontal striping evokes display technology, interference, and motion—like type seen through a shutter, CRT scanlines, or signal distortion. It feels energetic and slightly disruptive, balancing clean modern geometry with a deliberate, glitch-inspired roughness.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric display sans with a systematic dash/scanline treatment, turning the interior of each glyph into a graphic pattern. The goal is likely to convey speed, signal disruption, and digital-era texture while keeping letterforms recognizable and bold.
The banding pattern is prominent enough to become the main stylistic feature, producing a strong texture line across words and making negative space flicker as letters align. In longer text, the horizontal breaks create a rhythmic, animated feel that is more decorative than neutral.
