Sliced horizontal glitch pixel caps with displaced rows
Iyas
Iyas is a pixel capital alphabet in which each letter is sliced into horizontal bands and some bands are displaced sideways, so a word reads as a signal breaking up on a screen.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Iyas.
The I stands as a stack of bars, the Y forks into a staircase and the A carries a stepped bar, all built on a pixel grid with a heavy even weight. The glitch is systematic: one or two bands per letter shift a few pixels left or right, which keeps the word legible while making it read as interference. That displacement is also the failure point at small sizes, where a shifted band reads as a printing fault rather than an effect. Because the letters occupy fixed pixel cells, the fit is wide and a short word spans a panel at 50 pt. The dark ground, the neon gradient, the interface frame, the badges are presentation; the display face is the word shown in the sample and its supporting line.

Project & layout
blueprints.
Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Iyas’s stroke geometry.
Cover for an electronic release
The sliced bands read as a screen artifact at 80 pt, and the pixel grid ties the cover to the subject without an illustration of hardware.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 120 mm square sleeve: set the title at 80 pt on a pixel-aligned grid, set the artist in a 9 pt caps sans below, and keep 12 mm of margin so the displaced bands stay inside the square trim.
Pre-production check
A displaced band printed at an odd scale reads as damage; check the proof at final size and align every band to the same pixel grid.
Poster for an esports night
The glitch blocks carry an event poster at 100 pt and read across a room, which is what a tournament night needs from its wall print.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A2 poster: set the event name at 100 pt across the middle, set the schedule in a 14 pt pixel face beneath, and keep 25 mm of margin so the sliced edges stay clear of the bleed.
Pre-production check
Glitch bands over a dark photograph disappear; check the poster with the image in place and keep the lettering on a plain panel.
Ticket artwork for a gaming event
The sliced letters give a ticket a distinctive mark at 16 pt, and the pixel construction survives a small offset print without blurring.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 100 by 50 mm ticket: set the event name at 16 pt, set the door time in a 6 pt pixel face beneath, and keep 6 mm clear of the perforation so the displaced bands do not run across the tear line.
Pre-production check
A displaced band crossing a perforation tears unevenly; check the artwork against the tear position and keep the title on one side of it.
