A heavy, rounded sans with uniform stroke weight and softened corners, built from solid letterforms that are repeatedly knocked out with small circular perforations. The dot cutouts run consistently along strokes and around curves, creating a riveted, marquee-like texture while preserving clear outer silhouettes. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall construction stays simple and geometric, with straightforward terminals and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, storefront signage, event graphics, packaging, and logo marks where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or badges, but extended body text may feel busy due to the dense internal cutouts.
The repeated pinhole knockouts give the face a festive, show-signage personality that reads as fun and attention-grabbing. It carries a handmade, crafty energy with a slight industrial or stitched/riveted feel, balancing friendliness from the rounded shapes with sparkle from the dotted detailing.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a friendly rounded sans through a decorative perforation treatment, evoking marquee bulbs, punched metal, or stitched craft materials. The goal is high visibility and character rather than neutrality, adding instant themed personality to otherwise straightforward letterforms.
The perforation pattern is the dominant feature and remains visible even in smaller forms like lowercase and numerals, adding texture but also increasing visual noise. The face performs best when the dotted interior has enough size and contrast to remain distinct, and the overall look benefits from generous spacing so the texture doesn’t visually clump.
