A striped, modular display face built from stacked horizontal bars with small gaps that create a dashed, scanline effect. Forms are predominantly squared with blunt terminals and minimal curvature; counters and joins are implied by the alignment and spacing of the bars rather than continuous strokes. Proportions are broad and compact, with a consistent rhythm of horizontal segments across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, grid-conscious texture in text.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, title cards, and branding where the segmented texture can be a primary graphic element. It also fits interface or game-style overlays, labels, and tech-themed packaging where a readout aesthetic is desired; extended small text will emphasize the banding and may feel busy.
The repeated horizontal segmentation gives the font a digital, instrument-panel feel, evoking readouts, screen artifacts, and engineered surfaces. Its assertive, mechanical voice reads as technical and retro-futurist, with a hint of glitchy motion from the broken strokes.
The design appears intended to translate a pixel-grid logic into a bold display style, using repeated horizontal dashes to suggest strokes while maintaining strong, blocky silhouettes. It prioritizes a distinctive screen-like texture and modular consistency over smooth continuous curves.
In running text the striped construction produces strong horizontal banding; spacing and line breaks become visually prominent because the dashes create an overall texture as much as letterforms. Curved letters are rendered through stepped segment offsets, reinforcing a quantized, schematic look.
