A tall, tightly condensed display face built from repeated vertical bars, with letters carved out by small gaps and occasional short horizontal notches. Strokes are uniform in thickness and spacing, creating a consistent striped texture that reads as a single mass at distance and resolves into segments up close. Counters are minimal and often implied, with simplified joins and squared terminals; some forms introduce small cut-ins or breaks to distinguish similar shapes. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the vertical rhythm remains steady and dominant across the set.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its striped construction can be appreciated—posters, album/film titles, event graphics, and bold tech or industrial branding. It can also work as a graphic accent on packaging or interfaces when used sparingly, but is less appropriate for long passages of body text due to the dense vertical texture.
The font projects a machine-made, data-driven tone—evoking scanners, barcodes, and signal patterns. Its segmented construction feels energetic and systematic, lending a contemporary, tech-forward character with a slightly cryptic edge.
The design appears intended to merge letterforms with a repeating bar motif, prioritizing texture and a coded, instrument-like aesthetic over conventional readability. By using consistent vertical segments and strategic cutouts, it creates a distinctive display voice that doubles as a pattern.
Legibility depends heavily on size: at larger settings the internal breaks clearly define letterforms, while at smaller sizes the dense striping can collapse into dark columns. The texture is a strong visual feature in running text, producing pronounced vertical banding and a patterned word shape.
