A rounded, geometric sans with letterforms built from stacked horizontal bars, creating a consistent striped/segmented texture across the set. Strokes are smooth at the outer contour but broken internally into evenly spaced dashes, producing a semi-stencil effect that preserves legibility through strong silhouettes. Curves (C, G, O, S) read as soft and monoline-like in outline, while the internal striping introduces a rhythmic, mechanical pattern; terminals are generally blunt and clean. Numerals and lowercase follow the same construction, with open counters and a slightly modular feel that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes or in dense text.
Best suited to display settings where its striped construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, identity marks, and bold packaging or apparel graphics. It also fits UI moments that want a “signal/scanline” accent (titles, hero banners, splash screens) and works well for short pull quotes or labels where texture is desirable.
The repeated horizontal striping evokes scanning lines, LED signage, and signal interference, giving the font a tech-forward, retro-futurist tone. It feels energetic and graphic rather than neutral, with a playful “glitch” or barcode-like cadence that stands out immediately in headlines.
The design appears intended to merge clean, rounded sans silhouettes with a systematic horizontal segmentation, delivering a strong graphic signature reminiscent of scanlines or segmented displays. Its goal is less about neutral text setting and more about creating an immediately recognizable, tech-tinged texture in prominent typographic roles.
Because the interior is interrupted by consistent gaps, the face gains a textured color on the page and can appear lighter than its outer contours suggest, especially in long passages. The distinctive striping is highly recognizable but may reduce readability in small sizes or when viewed from a distance, making spacing and size choice important for comfortable use.
