A modular display face built from thin, disconnected vertical bars and short dash segments arranged on a coarse grid. Letterforms read as open frameworks rather than continuous outlines, with rounded stroke ends and generous interior whitespace that keeps counters airy. The overall silhouette stays rectilinear and upright, with most structure carried by parallel verticals and small stepped fragments that suggest curves and diagonals. Spacing appears intentionally uneven across glyphs to accommodate the segmented construction, giving text a rhythmic, coded texture.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, title cards, and distinctive wordmarks where its segmented pattern can be appreciated. It also fits tech branding, sci‑fi interfaces, and UI accents (labels, counters, or short callsouts) where a coded, instrument-like texture is desirable.
The broken-bar construction evokes instrumentation, scanning lines, and encoded readouts, producing a distinctly tech-forward, experimental tone. Its sparse marks feel precise and clinical, while the gaps introduce a glitchy, signal-processing character that reads more like information graphics than traditional typography.
The design appears intended to translate familiar Latin forms into a quantized, dash-and-bar system that feels like a digital readout. By prioritizing pattern, rhythm, and negative space over continuous strokes, it aims to deliver an experimental display voice while maintaining legibility through consistent modular placement.
In running text the repeated verticals create a strong vertical cadence and a shimmering texture, especially in sequences with many stems. Character recognition relies on overall silhouettes and signature segment placements, so the design rewards larger sizes and high-contrast settings where the dash pattern stays crisp.
