A rounded, monoline display face built from soft-ended strokes and simplified geometry. Each glyph is punctuated by small circular knockouts and occasional notches that read like perforations or rivet holes, creating an intentionally distressed, engineered texture. Curves are generous and open, terminals are blunt and rounded, and spacing is airy enough that the interior cutouts remain legible at larger sizes. Uppercase forms lean toward simple, sign-like construction, while lowercase maintains the same modular stroke logic with friendly, open counters.
Well suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and branding where a distinctive textured look is desired. It also works for signage, badges, labels, and event graphics that benefit from an industrial or retro-mechanical flavor, especially in short phrases and display settings.
The repeated dot cutouts give the font an industrial, fabricated feel—like painted metal, stamped plastic, or marquee hardware—while the rounded construction keeps it approachable and slightly whimsical. The overall tone lands between workshop utilitarian and retro novelty, with a tactile, handmade-by-machine character.
The design appears intended to merge rounded, approachable letterforms with a built/assembled surface treatment, using consistent circular cutouts to deliver a signature texture. The goal is a recognizable display style that feels manufactured yet playful, emphasizing character over neutrality in text.
The internal knockouts create strong texture and a lively rhythm across words, which can dominate at small sizes or in dense paragraphs. It performs best when given room (larger point sizes, shorter lines, and moderate tracking) so the perforation pattern reads as intentional detailing rather than noise.
