A segmented display-style sans built from short, disconnected horizontal dashes and small rounded-rect dots that align to a consistent grid. Strokes are monoline and evenly spaced, with corners implied through stepped or staggered segments rather than continuous curves. Counters stay relatively open despite the broken construction, and round letters are approximated with compact, stair-stepped arcs. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating an engineered, display-like rhythm rather than a strictly fixed-width feel.
Best suited for short display settings where the segmented texture can be appreciated—headlines, UI labels, tech-themed posters, event graphics, and signage-style titling. It can also work for controlled amounts of body copy in brand moments that intentionally lean into a digital/terminal aesthetic, especially with generous size and spacing.
The font reads as digital and instrument-driven, evoking scoreboards, terminals, LED signage, and synthesized interfaces. Its broken strokes add a subtle glitch/scanline character that feels technical and retro-futuristic at once.
The design appears intended to mimic a segmented electronic readout while remaining alphabetically complete, trading continuous strokes for modular bars to create a distinctive texture and a clear digital identity.
At smaller sizes the separated segments can visually merge into dotted lines, while at larger sizes the modular construction becomes the main texture. Horizontal elements dominate, giving words a banded, scanline cadence that is especially noticeable in continuous text.
