A condensed, vertically oriented display face built from evenly spaced horizontal bars that create a segmented, dash-like texture through each stroke. The glyphs rely on straight stems and simple geometric curves, with rounded terminals at the top and bottom that soften the otherwise rigid construction. Counters are tight and forms are simplified, producing a strong, repeatable rhythm and a distinctive “scanline” breakup across letters and numerals. Overall spacing appears consistent and compact, emphasizing height and creating a dense, columnar silhouette in text.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings where the broken stroke texture can be appreciated—posters, titles, logos, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for tech-themed graphics and interface-style displays when used at sizes large enough to preserve the segmented details.
The segmented construction reads as technical and utilitarian, evoking instrumentation, labeling, and machine-made signage. Its regular cadence feels controlled and mechanical, with a retro-digital undertone that suggests displays, industrial systems, and coded information.
The design appears intended to translate a digital/industrial dash motif into a coherent alphabet, prioritizing rhythmic texture and compact vertical presence over conventional continuous strokes. It aims to deliver a distinctive, modular look that signals technology and machinery while staying legible in display use.
The horizontal segmentation remains prominent even at larger sizes, creating a deliberate texture that can become the primary visual feature in headlines. Round-bottomed and round-topped caps contribute to a slightly friendlier feel than hard-edged stencils, while still maintaining an engineered aesthetic.
