border7Kat Fuente

border7Kat by Kato Masashi of FLOP Design is a free barcode dingbat font built from stacked horizontal bars and deliberate breaks. The repeated stripes form compact, machine-cut silhouettes.

Its coded, industrial pattern can shape electronic music packaging and science-fiction game graphics, two very different settings that both benefit from lettering that resembles a scanner readout, data strip, or stripped-down control interface. It is also suited to posters and merchandise for audiences drawn to retro computing, encryption, glitch art, underground electronic culture, and type that can double as a coded graphic device in youth-oriented design.
