A modular display face constructed from short, evenly weighted horizontal dashes with rounded terminals. Vertical strokes are implied by stacked dash rows, producing a quantized, scanline-like texture and deliberate gaps throughout the letterforms. Proportions are blocky and squared-off overall, with generous internal apertures and simplified curves built from stepped segments. The rhythm is consistent and grid-driven, with a slightly stencil-like continuity that stays readable despite the broken strokes.
Best suited for short display settings such as headlines, title cards, poster typography, logos, and interface or game-themed graphics. It works particularly well when you want text to feel screen-based or instrument-like, and when the dash pattern can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font evokes electronic instrumentation, LED readouts, and vintage computer or arcade interfaces. Its segmented construction gives it a coded, technical tone—clean and playful at the same time—suggesting motion, signal, and screen-rendered typography.
The design appears intended to translate pixel-display logic into a softer, rounded dash system, balancing strict grid construction with friendly terminals. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive, techy texture while keeping letterforms recognizable and bold in display contexts.
The repeated horizontal segmentation creates strong banding across lines of text, making texture a dominant feature at larger sizes. Because many strokes are discontinuous, clarity improves with sufficient size and spacing, where the dash pattern reads as intentional rather than noisy.
