A bold, display-oriented serif with classic bracketed forms that are repeatedly sliced by thin horizontal breaks, creating a banded, dash-like texture through each stroke. The underlying letter skeleton reads as a sturdy transitional-style serif, but the interior is interrupted by irregular strips that vary in length and spacing, producing a vibrating rhythm and strong figure–ground contrast. Curves (like C, O, S) keep their round proportions while the striping introduces a choppy, quantized feel, and the numerals follow the same interrupted construction for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title cards, and branding moments where the scanline texture can be read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for short editorial display lines or packaging where a retro-tech or glitch-inflected personality is desired, but the pronounced striping makes it less appropriate for extended body text.
The horizontal fragmentation gives the face a signal-noise, scanline energy that feels retro-digital and slightly distressed, like a printed piece passing through a malfunctioning copier or a low-resolution screen capture. It balances a traditional serif voice with a disruptive, kinetic texture, making the tone simultaneously authoritative and mischievous.
The design appears intended to fuse a familiar, readable serif silhouette with a deliberate horizontal “interference” effect, turning conventional letterforms into a graphic texture. The goal seems to be high-impact display typography that signals motion, distortion, or digitized reproduction while preserving recognizable proportions and sturdy spacing.
The striping is most noticeable in large areas of black, where the breaks create a strong moiré-like cadence across lines of text. In paragraph settings the texture becomes a dominant stylistic feature, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect the perceived banding and overall darkness.
