A condensed display face built from evenly weighted vertical bars with deliberate gaps, creating letterforms through omission rather than continuous strokes. Most glyphs read as tall, rectangular silhouettes with squared terminals and a strict, grid-like rhythm; counters and bowls are suggested by missing strips, producing a scanline effect. The construction yields consistent thickness and spacing, with occasional small horizontal fragments acting as minimal cross-strokes or terminals. Overall spacing is tight and the texture is dense, giving words a continuous striped band when set in lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging accents, and tech or industrial branding where the barcode texture is an advantage. It also works well for event graphics, album art, or UI moments like badges and labels when used at larger sizes. For longer passages or small sizes, the dense striping may reduce legibility, so pairing with a simpler companion can help.
The font conveys a barcode-like, industrial tone with a distinctly digital edge. Its segmented construction suggests scanning, signal interference, or encoded information, lending a controlled but slightly glitchy character. The result feels mechanical and contemporary, with a utilitarian, security-label energy.
The design appears intended to reinterpret familiar sans-like skeletons through a bar-and-gap system, prioritizing a strong vertical rhythm and encoded, machine-made texture. It aims to be immediately recognizable as a striped, modular display face that turns words into pattern while remaining readable at display scale.
In running text, the vertical striping becomes the dominant texture, so individual letters rely on silhouette and internal breaks for recognition. Mixed-case has a coordinated design language, and numerals follow the same modular logic, making the set feel cohesive across alphanumerics.
