A dotted, monoline sans built from evenly sized circular points spaced at regular intervals. Strokes read as sequences of discrete dots with consistent rhythm, producing clean geometric curves and straight segments without visible contrast. Proportions are simple and modern, with round counters, open apertures, and clear distinctions between similar forms (for example, the numeral 0 versus the letter O). Spacing feels moderately open, and the dot pattern gives every character a porous, lightly textured silhouette.
Best suited for display typography where the dotted texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, short wordmarks, and large-format signage. It can also work well for tech-themed or retro-digital graphics, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The dotted construction gives the face a playful, modern-technical tone—evoking LED signage, perforation, or plotted graphics. It feels lighthearted and experimental while still remaining orderly and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate familiar geometric letterforms into a modular dot system, prioritizing a consistent point rhythm and a distinctive perforated look while keeping recognizable silhouettes for readability in titles and branding.
Curved letters (C, G, O, S) maintain a consistent arc through carefully stepped dot placement, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) show a crisp, segmented slope. The design reads best when the dot grid can remain clearly resolved; at smaller sizes the texture may visually merge or soften.
