A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and simplified geometry. The letterforms are built from thick, even strokes with minimal contrast, producing sturdy silhouettes and generous interior counters. A distinctive decorative treatment—small circular cut-outs distributed across strokes—creates an inline-like perforated texture while keeping the outer shapes solid and legible. Curves are smooth and full, joins are clean, and the overall spacing feels open for such dense forms, helping the characters read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, event materials, and packaging where the perforated detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, craft-themed designs, and short callouts or labels that benefit from a distinctive, textured display voice.
The perforated, confetti-like cut-outs give the face a lighthearted, festive tone reminiscent of marquee signage and crafted lettering. Its friendly, bouncy shapes lean toward fun and informal messaging rather than austere or corporate voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines sturdy, rounded forms with a built-in ornamental texture. By carving repeated circular cut-outs through the strokes, it adds visual character and a sense of celebration while maintaining simple, readable letter shapes.
The decorative holes are consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive all-caps and mixed-case texture. The effect is strongest at larger sizes, where the cut-outs read as intentional detailing; at smaller sizes the interior perforations may visually merge into a grainy texture.
