A segmented display face built from short, separated dash marks that trace each letterform in quantized steps. Strokes are extremely thin and broken into evenly spaced vertical and horizontal bars, producing airy counters and a perforated silhouette. Shapes lean backward with a consistent slant, and terminals are blunt, with corners implied by staggered dash positions rather than continuous curves. Proportions read on the wide side overall, while widths vary by glyph, giving words a lively, uneven rhythm despite the strict modular construction.
Best suited to short display settings where the segmented texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, tech or electronic-themed branding, and interface-style labels. It can also work well in motion graphics or overlays where a “readout” aesthetic is desired, but it is less appropriate for dense body text.
The dashed construction and backward slant evoke instrument panels, diagnostic readouts, and early computer graphics, with a subtle glitch/scanline flavor. Its sparse, punctuated texture feels analytical and mechanical, more like a signal or indicator than traditional print typography.
The font appears intended to mimic a dashed, quantized rendering method—like a lightweight segmented indicator—while adding dynamic character through a consistent backward slant and variable glyph widths. The goal is a distinctive, screen-native texture that reads as engineered and electronic rather than handwritten or classical.
Readability depends strongly on size and contrast: at small sizes the dash spacing can cause characters to shimmer or break apart, while at larger sizes the segmented pattern becomes a defining texture. The design favors angular, grid-stepped geometry, with rounded forms suggested through staircased dash placements.
