A modular, segmented design built from short horizontal dashes and stacked vertical dash columns. Strokes are monoline and rectilinear, with deliberately broken continuity that creates a scanline-like texture across counters and stems. Curves are implied through stepped offsets and partial segments, producing squared bowls and angular shoulders. Spacing feels measured and mechanical, and the dash rhythm stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a gridded, quantized cadence.
Best suited to display typography where the segmented construction is legible and intentional—interface mockups, HUD-style graphics, tech branding accents, album/film titles, and poster headlines. It can work for short paragraphs when set generously, but the dash texture is most effective in larger sizes and with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is distinctly digital and instrument-like, reminiscent of early computer displays, test equipment readouts, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its broken strokes add a buzzy, electronic energy while keeping a practical, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to translate pixel-grid logic into a more graphic, dash-based letterform system—evoking electronic readouts and computational aesthetics while remaining typographically structured for conventional text setting.
In running text the repeated dash segments create strong horizontal banding, which can shimmer or appear noisy at smaller sizes but becomes a defining texture at display sizes. Numerals and caps read especially crisply, while some lowercase forms rely on partial segmentation for differentiation, emphasizing the font’s systematic, coded aesthetic.
