A dotted, modular sans built from evenly spaced circular points that trace each glyph’s skeleton. The forms are clean and geometric with rounded terminals by construction, consistent dot size, and a steady rhythm of spacing that reads like a plotted or perforated outline rather than a filled stroke. Curves (C, G, O, S) are resolved through stepped dot arcs, while straight stems and crossbars (E, F, H, T) stay rigid and gridlike. Counters remain open and simple, and overall proportions feel balanced with generous internal whitespace and clear, uncluttered silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where the dotted texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging accents, event graphics, and signage motifs. It can also work for short UI labels or thematic interfaces when a plotted/light-bulb look is desired, but long passages will emphasize the granular dot rhythm.
The dot construction gives the face a playful, lighthearted tone with a technical, instrument-like feel. It evokes signage made from bulbs, perforated paper, or low-resolution display aesthetics, lending a subtly retro, DIY character while still reading as orderly and modern.
The design intention appears to be a coherent dotted system that preserves familiar sans letter shapes while foregrounding a quantized, point-based construction. It prioritizes visual texture and a distinctive “made of points” identity over continuous strokes, creating a recognizable look for decorative and thematic typography.
Because the letterforms are made of discrete points, diagonals and small details show a deliberate “stepping” that becomes part of the texture. At text sizes the font produces an even speckled color, and punctuation (like the period) appears as a single dot, matching the system consistently.
