A segmented, dash-built sans with letterforms constructed from short horizontal bars that leave consistent gaps across the strokes. Curves and diagonals are suggested through stepped banding and selective omissions, producing a scanline-like texture while keeping overall silhouettes clear. Terminals are crisp and mostly squared, with occasional rounded outer arcs on bowls and O-like shapes; spacing and widths vary by glyph, giving the set a lively, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for display typography where the scanline/segmented effect can be appreciated: posters, titles, event graphics, and short bursts of copy. It can add a distinctive digital tone to tech branding, game/UI splash screens, and music or film artwork, especially when used at larger sizes with ample tracking.
The repeating breaks and banded strokes evoke CRT scanlines, signal interference, and early digital display aesthetics. It reads as tech-forward and slightly distorted—more experimental than neutral—bringing motion and “transmission” energy even in static text.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans-serif proportions into a bar-segment system, prioritizing a broadcast/scanline texture over continuous strokes. It aims for a contemporary retro-digital voice that stands out through fragmentation and rhythmic horizontal patterning.
In continuous text, the internal striping becomes the dominant visual feature, creating a strong horizontal cadence across words. The design maintains recognizable forms at display sizes, but the deliberate fragmentation can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
