A heavy, wide display face built from segmented horizontal bars that read as evenly spaced stripes across each glyph. The underlying letterforms are geometric and largely sans-serif, with softened curves on round shapes and sturdy, squared terminals on straight strokes. The segmentation creates a consistent rhythm of breaks through both stems and bowls, producing a crisp, high-contrast pattern between solid bands and open gaps. Proportions are roomy with a tall x-height and open counters, keeping the shapes legible despite the banding.
Best suited for large-scale display settings where the striped segmentation can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well in tech-leaning visuals or retro-futuristic themes, where the scanline-like texture can act as a graphic motif.
The repeated striping gives the font a techno-industrial voice, reminiscent of scanlines, louvers, or mechanical ventilation grilles. It suggests motion or signal interference while still feeling controlled and engineered, making the overall tone modern-retro and slightly glitchy.
Likely designed to merge a solid, approachable grotesque skeleton with a distinctive horizontal segmentation, delivering both readability and a strong built-in texture. The goal appears to be a statement display font that adds motion and structure without relying on outlines or decorative swashes.
The horizontal breaks are a defining texture: they stay aligned across characters, creating strong line continuity in words and a pronounced “striped” color on the page. In dense text, the pattern becomes a graphic field, while at larger sizes the segmented construction reads as intentional detailing.
