A heavy, geometric display face built from squared-off strokes with chamfered corners that often resolve into octagonal silhouettes (notably in O/0 and round counters). Each stroke is hollowed with a regular pattern of small circular perforations running along the interior, creating a consistent inset texture rather than traditional counters alone. Terminals are blunt and orthogonal, curves are minimized, and diagonals are crisp and angular, giving the alphabet a constructed, panel-like feel. Spacing appears generous and the perforation pattern stays relatively uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even, gridlike rhythm in text.
Best suited for display work such as headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage where the perforated detail can be appreciated. It can also work for tech- or industry-themed graphics and titling, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The perforated inlines evoke fabricated materials—metal plates, signage panels, or illuminated marquees—resulting in a utilitarian, engineered tone with a retro-futurist edge. The overall impression is bold and attention-getting, with a playful sense of “hardware” detail that reads as technical and industrial rather than calligraphic or soft.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy geometric skeleton with an ornamental, engineered inset texture, mimicking perforated or riveted construction while keeping letterforms highly legible and modular. Its consistent internal dot pattern suggests a deliberate focus on material-inspired detail for distinctive, industrial display typography.
The dotted knockouts remain visible at text sizes shown in the sample, acting as a secondary texture that can dominate the page; the effect is strongest in larger settings where the perforations read cleanly. Angular construction is consistent across the set, including numerals, with rounded forms handled via faceted corners rather than smooth curves.
