A heavy, geometric sans with broad strokes and simple, sturdy construction. The defining feature is a consistent field of small circular knockouts punched through stems, bowls, and counters, creating a perforated, marquee-like texture while keeping the letterforms solid and highly legible. Curves are generously rounded, terminals are clean and blunt, and spacing feels even, producing a strong, graphic rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same blocky proportions and perforation pattern for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display work where the perforated texture can read clearly—posters, event and theatre promotions, storefront signage, packaging callouts, and bold branding moments. It can work for short subheads and labels, but longer passages benefit from generous size and spacing to keep the dot cutouts from visually filling in.
The repeated dot cutouts read like lights, rivets, or perforations, giving the face a show-signage energy. It feels cheerful and attention-seeking, with a hint of vintage entertainment and craft-cut charm that adds personality without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to combine a straightforward, geometric sans skeleton with a decorative perforation motif, evoking illuminated marquee lettering or punched/stenciled materials. The goal appears to be instant visual impact and a recognizable texture while preserving a stable, readable silhouette.
The perforations are distributed with a regular cadence, so texture remains consistent even in dense text. In larger sizes the dot pattern becomes a primary stylistic element; at smaller sizes it will read more like grain or stippling, so contrast between foreground and background becomes especially important.
