A segmented display face built from evenly spaced horizontal bars, creating a striped silhouette across every glyph. Strokes are monoline in feel, with rounded corners and smoothly curved bowls that stay readable despite frequent breaks. The overall construction is geometric and sturdy, with generous proportions and open counters; diagonals and joins are simplified into stepped bar segments that keep the rhythm consistent. Numerals and capitals share a uniform, engineered presence, while lowercase forms maintain clear differentiation and solid spacing in text.
Best suited to display settings where the striped construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, and logo marks. It also fits tech or audio/visual themed branding, packaging, and interface-style artwork where a scanline or signal aesthetic is desired. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with ample line spacing to keep the horizontal striping from dominating readability.
The repeating scanline pattern evokes electronics, broadcast graphics, and vintage computer interfaces, giving the type a distinctly technical, slightly kinetic feel. Its broken strokes add motion and texture, suggesting signals, shutters, or printing through a slotted mask. The tone is modernist and industrial with a playful retro edge.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a distinctive horizontal segmentation, producing a recognizable “signal/scanline” texture without sacrificing basic letter clarity. It prioritizes visual identity and rhythmic patterning for attention-grabbing typography.
Because the bars run horizontally through the full letterforms, texture becomes a dominant element: at larger sizes it reads as deliberate striping, while at smaller sizes it can visually merge into a darker banded tone. Curved letters (like C, O, S) remain smooth and recognizable, and the consistent bar spacing helps words hold together even with the interruptions.
