A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and compact counters, rendered as solid letterforms punctured by many small circular knockouts. The perforations are distributed across strokes and bowls in a consistent, patterned way, creating a textured “hole‑punched” surface while keeping the outer silhouette clean and legible. Terminals are mostly straight or softly rounded, with even stroke weight and minimal contrast. The overall rhythm is sturdy and high-impact, with open, simplified shapes and a straightforward, upright stance that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headers, and branding moments where a distinctive surface texture is desired. It works well for event promos, entertainment or music materials, product packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from an industrial or retro display accent.
The repeated circular cutouts give the type a mechanical, fabricated feel—like perforated metal, speaker grilles, or marquee materials—while also adding a lighthearted, decorative sparkle. It balances an industrial toughness with a playful, attention-grabbing character that feels at home in retro-inspired or novelty-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a built-in decorative pattern, using circular knockouts to suggest perforation and manufactured materiality. It prioritizes a strong outer silhouette and immediate recognizability while adding novelty through consistent internal cutouts.
In longer text, the dense perforation texture becomes the dominant feature, so the design performs best when the viewer can resolve the holes (larger sizes or strong contrast). The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent texture density, supporting cohesive headlines and short statements.
