A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and squared terminals, built from solid strokes that are repeatedly interrupted by thin horizontal cuts. The dashing is consistent across the alphabet, producing a banded texture that reads like scanlines running through each glyph. Counters are compact and simplified, joins are sturdy, and curves remain blocky and controlled, keeping the overall silhouette strong even with the internal breaks. Numerals match the same robust construction and maintain clear, chunky forms.
Best suited for display use where its scanline segmentation can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging that wants a tech or industrial attitude. It can work for short bursts of text, but the strong internal pattern is likely to be most effective in larger sizes and high-contrast layouts.
The repeating horizontal segmentation gives the face a digital, disrupted tone—part barcode, part CRT scanline. It suggests interference, motion, or data transmission, lending an aggressive, modern edge that feels suited to tech-forward or dystopian aesthetics.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy, impactful sans skeleton with a deliberate horizontal “signal break” motif, creating a distinctive texture without sacrificing the recognizability of the letterforms. It prioritizes immediate visual character and thematic styling over neutrality.
In text settings the internal striping becomes the dominant rhythm, creating an intentional “noisy” texture across lines. The effect is highly distinctive and benefits from generous sizing and spacing so the scanline breaks don’t visually merge into dark bands.
