A segmented, modular sans built from evenly spaced horizontal bars that collectively describe each letterform. Strokes read as stacked stripes with small gaps, producing a consistent scanline texture across the alphabet. Curves are simplified into stepped arcs, while verticals and diagonals are implied by staggered bar lengths, giving forms a slightly pixel-quantized silhouette without becoming blocky. Counters remain open and recognizable, and the overall rhythm is defined more by the repeating bar pattern than by continuous outlines.
Best suited to short, display-forward applications where its scanline texture can read as an intentional graphic motif—headlines, posters, logos, packaging accents, and music or tech-themed artwork. For longer passages or small sizes, the segmentation may reduce clarity, so it performs strongest when given ample size and contrast.
The repeating stripes create a strong optical vibration that feels digital and retro-futuristic, like CRT scanlines or a shuttered display. It carries a kinetic, slightly glitchy energy while still staying friendly and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans structure with a consistent horizontal-bar construction, emphasizing repetition and texture over continuous strokes. Its goal is likely to evoke electronic display aesthetics while keeping letterforms straightforward and broadly familiar.
In text settings the horizontal segmentation becomes the dominant texture, so spacing and line breaks feel graphic as much as typographic. Round characters (C, G, O, Q) show the bar pattern most clearly, and joins in letters like M, N, and W read as stepped transitions rather than smooth strokes.
