An 8-line typeface designed by
Tony
Wenman and made available by Letraset for dry-transfer
lettering as part of Letragraphica 11 in 1973. [Daines] No

several alternates that allow users to turn it into “a
completely flowing, linking face”. Users were further encouraged to
create variations “just by eliminating some lines, or filling them

Lettergraphics shows a phototype adaptation as Lined
Stripes. [1976 catalog]
There is a commercial digitization by Ralph M. Unger (profonts,
2006, also sold by Thinkdust), but it doesn’t include the
alternates nor the original dotted ‘i’. See Iván Moreno’s
Octothorpe More…
