A modular, rectilinear display face built from thick, squared outlines with repeated interior knockouts that read like evenly spaced perforations. Glyphs sit on a coarse grid with hard corners, stepped joins, and frequent right-angle turns; curves are suggested through angular segmentation rather than true rounds. The counters are generally open and geometric, while the stroke interiors are consistently interrupted by small rectangular cutouts that create a dotted, ladder-like rhythm across horizontals and verticals. Proportions skew wide and blocky, with a high x-height and compact ascenders/descenders that keep lowercase forms near the cap height.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging callouts, and game/tech-themed UI labels where the perforated outline can be appreciated. It performs especially well at medium-to-large sizes and in high-contrast applications where the interior cutouts remain clearly legible.
The perforated, block-outline construction evokes retro digital signage and arcade-era graphics, giving the font a technical, fabricated feel. Its repeating cutout pattern adds a playful, gadget-like texture that reads as engineered and decorative at the same time.
The design appears intended to merge an outline display silhouette with a consistent perforation motif, creating a distinctive industrial/retro-tech texture while keeping letterforms broadly familiar and readable. The grid-driven construction suggests a deliberate nod to digital or modular fabrication aesthetics rather than traditional pen-based forms.
The strong internal texture becomes more prominent in smaller apertures and at text sizes, where the knockouts can visually compete with counters. Many joins and diagonals resolve as stair-steps, reinforcing the pixel/grid aesthetic and making the overall color darker and busier than a typical outline face.
