A segmented, modular display face built from short rectangular bars that read like broken scanlines. Strokes are discontinuous, with frequent gaps and stepped corners that create a quantized silhouette while still preserving familiar Latin skeletons. The forms lean with a reverse-slant posture, and the apparent stroke density varies from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm across words. Counters are often implied rather than fully enclosed, and terminals tend to end abruptly on the grid, reinforcing a constructed, mechanical feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its segmented texture can be appreciated: headlines, posters, game titles, and interface title bars. It can also work for branding accents or event graphics that aim for a digital/glitch aesthetic, while extended reading is better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is digital and slightly distressed, like text seen through interference, low-bandwidth transmission, or a malfunctioning display. Its bar-and-gap texture adds an energetic, edgy character that reads as tech-forward, cyberpunk, and industrial rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to evoke a dash-built, display-like construction with intentional fragmentation, creating the impression of signal noise or a stylized electronic readout. The reverse slant and shifting stroke density suggest an emphasis on motion, attitude, and visual texture over typographic neutrality.
At larger sizes the internal segmentation becomes a defining texture, but at smaller sizes the repeated gaps can soften letter recognition, especially in dense paragraphs. The reverse slant and uneven segmentation introduce motion and attitude, making the face feel animated even when set in static lines.
