A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves and broadly proportioned bowls, rendered as solid letterforms punctured by evenly spaced circular perforations. The dot knockouts track the stroke paths, creating a consistent internal rhythm across straight and curved segments, while joins stay clean and simplified. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, friendly construction with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, prioritizing bold silhouette and pattern over fine detail. Numerals follow the same blocky, high-impact structure with the perforated detailing maintained throughout.
Best used for posters, headlines, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging accents, and event promotions where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It also works well for logos or badges that want a marquee or stage-inspired look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The perforated detailing evokes lit signage, carnival lettering, and marquee-style theatrics, giving the face a showy, celebratory tone. Its chunky shapes and regular dot pattern read as upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly vintage entertainment feel.
The design appears intended to merge a bold, friendly sans foundation with a decorative perforation system that suggests illuminated or punched lettering. The goal is strong legibility at display sizes while delivering a distinctive, repeatable texture that reads as festive and attention-grabbing.
The interior dot pattern becomes a primary texture at text sizes, producing a lively sparkle that can visually thicken the page. Counters are generally generous, but the added perforations increase complexity, making the design better suited to short bursts than dense reading.
