A geometric sans with monoline construction that’s rendered as stacked horizontal dashes, creating a striped, segmented silhouette. Curves are smooth and broadly rounded, while verticals and diagonals read cleanly despite the broken stroke, giving the letters a crisp, engineered feel. Counters are generous and open, and the overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with the dash pattern acting like a built-in texture rather than a separate effect.
Best suited to display typography where the striped construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, editorial openers, event graphics, and brand marks that want a digital or kinetic cue. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging accents when set large enough to keep the segmented strokes from collapsing.
The repeating scanline texture evokes screens, signal interference, and motion, giving the face a distinctly tech-forward, retro-digital mood. It feels energetic and slightly glitch-adjacent while remaining orderly and readable, balancing playfulness with a controlled, modern geometry.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans skeleton with a scanline/dash treatment, producing a font that functions as both letterform and visual texture. Its consistent segmentation suggests an emphasis on graphic impact and a contemporary-tech tone rather than neutral body text performance.
The stripe breaks introduce optical vibration at smaller sizes and on thin strokes, while at larger sizes the pattern becomes a strong graphic motif. The texture is uniform across glyphs, so words form a cohesive banded mass that reads as both type and pattern.
