A wide, upright sans with rounded, geometric construction and a uniform stroke presence. Each letterform is defined by a bold outer contour punctuated by a consistent field of small circular knockouts, creating a dotted inline effect across stems and bowls. Curves are smooth and generously radiused, terminals feel clean and squared-off where needed, and counters stay open for clarity. Overall spacing reads comfortable and steady, while the perforated detailing adds texture and a sense of depth without changing the basic silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It also works well for signage, packaging, and event materials that want a retro-lit or crafted feel, especially when paired with simple supporting text.
The dotted cutouts evoke vintage signage and illuminated marquee lettering, giving the face a showy, celebratory tone. It feels upbeat and approachable—more entertainment and nightlife than corporate or editorial—while still retaining a tidy, modern geometric backbone.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric sans structure with an attention-grabbing perforated inline treatment, reminiscent of punched metal, theater bulbs, or vintage marquee type. The goal is decorative impact and recognizability while keeping letterforms broadly legible.
The perforation pattern is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the decorative motif remains stable in running text. Because the interior knockouts are fine and frequent, the design reads most confidently at display sizes where the dot pattern stays crisp and intentional.
