A heavy, rounded, block-built display face with softened corners and compact internal counters. Many strokes feature intentional “cutout” details—small oval perforations and occasional slits—concentrated along one side of the letterforms, giving a riveted or vented, stencil-like feel. Curves are broad and geometric, terminals tend toward squared-off rounding, and several forms simplify into chunky, modular shapes with occasional sharp diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z). Spacing and widths vary by glyph, contributing to an intentionally uneven, characterful rhythm in text.
Best suited for bold headlines, logos, and short display copy where its cutout texture and chunky geometry can read clearly. It can work well for posters, product packaging, event graphics, and game or entertainment UI treatments that want a retro-tech or fabricated aesthetic. For extended reading, it’s more effective in brief bursts than in dense body text.
The overall tone reads as playful and slightly quirky, with a retro tech/industrial flavor. The perforated detailing adds a gadgety, fabricated vibe, while the rounded massing keeps it friendly rather than severe. In longer lines it feels energetic and attention-grabbing, like a title card or arcade-era graphic.
The design appears intended to be a distinctive novelty display with a fabricated, perforated surface motif—like a molded plastic or industrial panel—applied to rounded geometric letterforms. Its varied widths and simplified shapes prioritize personality and visual impact over neutrality, aiming to make words feel like graphic objects.
The side-biased perforations create a consistent “directional” texture across the alphabet, which becomes a noticeable pattern in paragraphs of display text. Counters are generally small, so the face is most comfortable at larger sizes where the cutouts and interior openings remain clear.
