A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broadly proportioned forms, built from solid strokes that are punctured by evenly spaced circular knockouts. The dot pattern follows the contours of each letter, creating a consistent perforated rhythm that reads like drilled or bulb sockets within the stroke. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open and friendly, and joins are clean with minimal modulation. Numerals and lowercase echo the same rounded geometry and perforation density, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture across lines of text.
Best suited for display settings where the perforated texture can be appreciated: posters, festival or event materials, storefront signage, packaging, and short emphatic headlines. It can work in brief blocks of copy when set large with comfortable tracking and line spacing, but it is most effective when used as an accent or primary display voice.
The repeated circular cutouts give the face a show-sign feel—evoking marquee lights, carnival lettering, and playful retro display typography. It feels upbeat and attention-seeking, with a crafted, punchy personality that suggests entertainment, events, and bold headlines rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly rounded sans structure with a distinctive perforated interior, delivering instant visual identity and a light-bulb or punched-metal effect. The consistent dot placement across the alphabet suggests a focus on repeatable texture and strong branding impact in large-scale applications.
Because the internal dots add strong texture, the font’s visual color becomes lively and busy at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes the perforation reads as a deliberate decorative detail. The sample text shows the dot grid staying consistent across different shapes, which helps maintain rhythm and recognizability even in dense paragraphs.
