Author's note

Lines is a free striped display font built from tightly spaced diagonal strokes that turn each letter into a dense geometric pattern. Sharp corners and repeated changes in direction produce an Op Art effect, with the letterforms emerging from a continuous field of parallel lines.

Posters are its strongest setting, especially for music, exhibitions, or events with an experimental graphic style. It also suits album covers, streetwear merchandise, and digital graphics, where the maze-like construction can become part of the main image instead of acting as ordinary type. The angled bands can echo architectural drawings, optical patterns, or linear illustration, linking the lettering directly to the artwork.
