A heavy, rounded sans with simple geometric construction and a strongly simplified, poster-like silhouette. Each glyph is filled but punctuated by irregular circular cutouts that read like perforations or punched holes, distributed throughout the strokes and counters for a consistent all-over texture. Curves are smooth and generous, terminals are blunt, and joins stay sturdy, keeping interiors open enough for legibility despite the decorative knockouts. Overall spacing is comfortable and the set maintains a uniform rhythm, with the dotted texture doing most of the stylistic work rather than complex letterforms.
Best suited to short, large settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and playful packaging where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It can also work for labels, stickers, and social graphics, but will generally be less effective for long passages or very small sizes where the cutouts can visually merge.
The perforated fill gives the face a lively, celebratory character that evokes signage, craft punch-outs, and stage-light or marquee associations. It feels friendly and informal, with a novelty tone suited to attention-grabbing headlines and upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended as a display face that turns a straightforward rounded sans skeleton into a themed, textured style through consistent circular knockouts. The goal is to deliver instant personality and a decorative pattern while preserving a clear, readable overall silhouette.
The internal dots vary in size and placement, creating an intentionally irregular pattern that adds motion and visual grain across words. Because the texture is integral to the strokes, the design reads best when given enough size and contrast so the cutouts stay distinct.
