A segmented display face built from horizontal dash-like strokes that interrupt the letterforms at regular intervals. The outlines stay largely geometric and sans-driven, with rounded corners on many curves and terminals that feel softly chamfered despite the broken construction. Counters remain open and legible, while the repeated striping introduces a strong internal rhythm and a lightly vibrating texture across straight stems and bowls alike.
Best suited for display settings where the striped texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event graphics, album/film titles, and branding accents. It also fits tech-themed interfaces, sci‑fi styling, and motion graphics where a scanline look is desirable. For long passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help maintain clarity.
The repeated horizontal breaks give the font a scanning-line, signal-interference character that reads as tech-forward and slightly retro. It evokes instrumentation, screens, and motion—conveying speed and energy without becoming chaotic. Overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a controlled “glitch” aesthetic.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with a deliberate scanline/dash construction, producing a distinctive texture while preserving recognizable silhouettes. It aims to communicate a screen-based, engineered aesthetic that stands out immediately in display typography.
The striping creates an optical shimmer at text sizes and tends to darken areas with dense curves, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect perceived weight. Round letters and diagonals keep their structure well, while small features (like apertures and joints) rely on the dash pattern to stay distinct.
