A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and simplified geometry, built from thick strokes and mostly straight terminals. The distinctive feature is an all-over field of irregular punched-out dots and small voids inside the strokes, creating a consistent perforated texture across letters and numerals. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, O, S), while diagonals and joins stay blunt and sturdy, giving the face a solid silhouette despite the internal knockouts. Spacing reads moderately open for a display style, and the texture remains uniform at both uppercase and lowercase sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging callouts, and signage where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It works especially well when you want a friendly, eye-catching display voice rather than a neutral text face.
The perforated interior treatment gives the font a playful, novelty-forward personality with a hint of retro signage and mechanical/industrial flavor. It feels energetic and attention-grabbing, with a confetti-like texture that adds motion and humor to otherwise straightforward sans shapes.
The design appears intended to take a simple, bold sans foundation and transform it into a characterful display style through irregular internal cutouts. The goal is likely to create instant recognition and a tactile, punched or sprinkled texture that stands out in large-format typography.
The knockout pattern is dense enough to become a primary visual element; at smaller sizes it may visually merge into a grainy fill, while at larger sizes it reads as deliberate perforation. Numerals follow the same chunky construction and maintain the dotted internal rhythm, supporting cohesive headline use across mixed content.
