A geometric, block-built display face with heavy rectangular strokes and extensive internal perforations that read like evenly spaced pinholes. Corners are predominantly square, with occasional stepped or notched joins that give several forms a pixel-like, modular rhythm. Counters are generally boxy and compact, and many glyphs incorporate deliberate gaps, cut-ins, or small terminal indentations that create a stenciled, constructed feel. The lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height relative to tall ascenders, and spacing appears slightly irregular across letters, reinforcing the handmade-modular texture.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and signage where the perforated detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for logo wordmarks or short UI/title treatments with a tech or industrial theme, especially when set with ample size and spacing.
The perforated strokes suggest signage, fabricated metal, or LED/marquee construction, giving the font a showy, engineered personality. Its rigid geometry and dotted cutouts also lean toward a retro-futuristic, game-interface tone, balancing mechanical precision with a playful, decorative sparkle.
The design appears intended to emulate fabricated lettering—like punched metal, marquee housings, or modular panel construction—by combining sturdy geometric outlines with a uniform perforation pattern. The goal is a distinctive, texture-forward display voice that remains readable through strong outer silhouettes.
The consistent dot pattern becomes a strong surface texture at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it may visually merge into tone, making the outer silhouette the main legibility cue. Numerals match the same squared, perforated construction and hold up as a cohesive set for display uses.
