A quantized, modular display face built from short horizontal dash segments that stack into vertical strokes and stepwise curves. Forms sit in a mostly square footprint with monoline construction and crisp right-angle turns; diagonals appear as jagged, stair-stepped progressions. The segmentation introduces consistent gaps along stems and bowls, giving counters a perforated, semi-open feel while preserving clear silhouettes. Spacing and rhythm feel systematic and grid-bound, with some glyphs widening or narrowing according to their structure (notably round letters and multi-stem forms).
Works best for headlines, interface labels, timers, counters, and other on-screen display contexts where a digital texture is desirable. It can also be effective on posters, album art, and branding for tech or gaming themes, particularly when used at larger sizes where the dash segmentation is clearly visible.
The overall tone reads distinctly digital and machine-made, evoking LED/LCD readouts, early computing, and arcade-era interfaces. The broken strokes add a rugged, engineered character—technical rather than friendly—suited to sci‑fi and gadget aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, segmented display aesthetic into a full alphabet with consistent modular logic and strong, readable silhouettes. Its stepped curves and repeated dash units prioritize a programmable, systemized look over smooth typography, creating a distinctive screen-native texture.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same segmented logic, with simplified, geometric lowercase that remains highly legible at display sizes. Numerals match the same stepped geometry, and the dash-based construction creates a strong texture when set in lines, especially in longer passages.
