A condensed, heavy sans with squared geometry and smooth outer curves, built from regularly spaced horizontal breaks that slice through each stroke. The segmentation is consistent across the alphabet and numerals, creating a barcode-like texture while preserving clear letter silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and rectangular, counters are compact, and curves (like C, G, O, S) remain rounded but visually banded by the repeating gaps. Overall spacing and proportions favor tight, vertical forms with an even, mechanical rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, logos, athletic or streetwear graphics, and packaging where a rugged, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work for UI accents or labels when used sparingly and at sizes that keep the internal striping legible.
The repeated striping gives the face a utilitarian, engineered tone—part industrial labeling, part tactical or tech interface. Its textured fill reads as intentional “signal noise,” lending a sense of motion, scanning, or restricted visibility while staying assertive and punchy.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward condensed grotesque skeleton with a distinctive horizontal dash pattern, producing a bold display face that feels like scanning lines or a stencil-like obstruction. The goal seems to be instant recognizability and a strong graphic signature rather than quiet readability in long text.
The horizontal cuts create a strong midline shimmer in text blocks, increasing visual energy but also adding busy detail at smaller sizes. The effect feels most coherent when set large or with generous tracking, where the segmented pattern can read cleanly rather than merging into dark bands.
