A clean, geometric sans built from evenly spaced horizontal dash segments that leave narrow gaps through every stroke. The outlines read as rounded-rectangle forms, with smooth curves on C/G/O and softly rounded terminals, while the segmented construction creates an inline/scanline texture across the entire alphabet. Stroke weight remains consistent, counters are open and simple, and the overall spacing feels generous, helping the broken strokes stay legible even in compact shapes like a/e/s and the numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where the segmented construction can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity—headlines, titles, posters, and identity marks. It can also work for short UI labels, overlays, and motion graphics where a screen-like texture reinforces a digital or futuristic theme, while avoiding long passages where the stripe pattern may dominate.
The repeated horizontal breaks give the face a scanline, signal, or shuttered-motion feel that suggests speed, screens, and electronic readouts. It balances a friendly roundness with a distinctly technical texture, creating a modern-retro tone reminiscent of digital displays and broadcast graphics.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric skeleton with a distinctive scanline dash treatment, delivering a recognizable texture that evokes digital output while remaining legible. It prioritizes visual identity and motion-like rhythm over neutral text setting.
In longer text the dash rhythm becomes a strong surface pattern, so the font reads as much by texture as by outline. The effect is especially prominent on round letters and bowls, where the segmented curves produce a lively, vibrating contour.
