A chunky, all-caps-first display design built from heavy rectangular forms with softened, rounded corners. Strokes are visually punctured throughout by small circular knockouts, producing a perforated, hollowed texture that remains consistent across letters and numerals. Counters are simple and geometric, and many joins are squared-off, giving the alphabet a modular, constructed feel. Spacing reads fairly open for such dense shapes, while widths vary by glyph in a way that keeps the overall rhythm lively rather than strictly monospaced.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event titles, bold branding lockups, and signage where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It can add character to packaging and labels, and works well for short phrases or punchy typographic marks rather than extended body text.
The repeating dot cutouts evoke rivets, marquee bulbs, or pegboard perforations, lending a playful industrial tone. The result feels retro and hands-on—part workshop sign, part novelty display—while still reading clearly at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to merge bold, geometric letterforms with an intentionally punctured surface texture, creating a distinctive industrial-meets-novelty voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
The perforations are distributed both along edges and within strokes, so texture becomes a primary design feature rather than an occasional stencil break. The sample text shows the dotted pattern holding together well in short words and headlines, but the internal detail suggests it will look best when given enough size and contrast to keep the holes from visually filling in.
