A wide, upright slab-serif design whose solid black letterforms are interrupted by stacked horizontal cuts, creating a dash-bar texture through the counters and strokes. The silhouettes remain heavy and legible, but the repeated striping produces a vibrating rhythm and a distinctly segmented interior pattern. Curves are smooth and rounded at the outside, while the interior breaks add quantized, step-like transitions; terminals stay blunt and slabby, reinforcing a sturdy, poster-like build. Spacing reads fairly even in text, with the striped pattern aligning consistently across letters to form horizontal bands through a line.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where the scanline texture can be a deliberate stylistic cue—posters, editorial openers, album or film titles, and tech-leaning branding. It can work for short bursts of copy or pull quotes, but the strong horizontal banding is most effective when used sparingly and at sizes that keep the striped detail readable.
The repeated horizontal breaks evoke scanlines, interference, and motion blur, giving the face a glitchy, broadcast-tech feel. It mixes a classic slab-serif authority with a disruptive, electronic texture, creating a tone that is both retro and edgy.
The design appears intended to translate a robust slab-serif structure into a stylized, digitally disrupted voice by carving the forms into repeating horizontal bars. It prioritizes impact and recognizable silhouettes while adding a signature interference pattern for distinctive display typography.
In continuous text, the stripe pattern forms strong horizontal banding that can become the dominant visual feature, especially at larger sizes and in tight leading. The numerals and capitals carry the effect clearly, with the overall width lending a confident, billboard-like presence.
