A monoline, geometric sans built from stacked horizontal bars that segment each letterform into evenly spaced stripes. Strokes are rendered as short rectangular dashes with consistent thickness and gaps, creating a stepped, quantized edge on curves and diagonals. The proportions are compact and fairly uniform, with squared terminals and simplified counters that stay open despite the internal striping. Overall spacing and rhythm feel engineered and systematic, with the bar pattern acting like an internal texture across the full alphabet and figures.
Best suited for display settings where the scanline texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and graphic branding with a tech or electronic theme. It can also work as a secondary accent face for interfaces or packaging when used at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The repeating scanline texture evokes screens, signals, and machine readouts, giving the type a distinctly digital, retro-technical tone. It reads as futuristic and industrial while also suggesting glitchy motion or transmission interference.
The design appears intended to translate a bold geometric sans into a scanline/segmented construction, prioritizing a strong visual signature over continuous stroke clarity. Its consistent bar rhythm suggests an aim for a mechanical, screen-like texture that stays cohesive across letters and numerals.
Because the bar pattern removes continuous strokes, small sizes and dense settings can visually darken or shimmer, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive striped texture. The design’s texture is strongest on rounded glyphs and bowls, where the stepped segmentation becomes most apparent.
