A heavy, squared display face built from blocky, modular letterforms with sharp corners and occasional notches. Many glyphs feature repeated horizontal cut-ins near the top, creating a striped, scanline effect that reads like stencil breaks or deliberate "signal" interference. Counters are generally compact and rectangular, and strokes terminate bluntly with minimal curve work, yielding a rigid, engineered silhouette. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing an irregular, constructed rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, logo-like wordmarks, and entertainment or game-related graphics where the striped construction becomes a central visual motif. It also works for UI headers, badges, and packaging accents when used at generous sizes to keep the internal breaks clear.
The repeated horizontal breaks give the font a digital, glitch-adjacent attitude—part arcade cabinet, part sci‑fi instrumentation. It feels mechanical and assertive, with a playful, experimental edge that turns even simple words into graphic texture.
The design appears intended as a decorative display face that merges solid, block construction with deliberate horizontal interruptions to suggest scanlines, data readouts, or stencil-like segmentation. Its goal is less neutrality and more immediate personality—turning text into a bold, tech-flavored graphic element.
The scanline breaks are most prominent in uppercase and certain numerals, producing strong banding at headline sizes and a more fragmented texture as size decreases. The overall texture is dense and attention-grabbing, and the stepped geometry can create lively word shapes with a distinctly "built" look.
