A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and compact, blocky construction. Each glyph is rendered as a solid silhouette interrupted by evenly scattered small circular knockouts, creating a perforated, hollowed texture across stems and bowls. Curves are full and smooth, terminals are blunt, and counters remain open and legible despite the internal dot pattern. Spacing reads steady and the overall rhythm is bold and graphic, with the dotted cutouts providing consistent surface detail across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the perforated texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and playful branding. It also works well for titles on crafts, party materials, and kid-focused design where a friendly, decorated blackletter-free look is desired.
The dotted cutout texture gives the face a playful, crafty tone that feels nostalgic and decorative. It evokes punch-card, perforation, marquee-confetti, or foam-stamp effects, adding a lighthearted personality while keeping an assertive, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to take a simple, sturdy rounded sans skeleton and turn it into a characterful display face through consistent circular knockouts. The goal is strong legibility at large sizes paired with a distinctive decorative surface that reads as fun and tactile.
The dot knockouts are distributed through both straight and curved strokes, so texture remains visible at display sizes and creates a distinctive fill pattern in large areas like O, B, and 8. The lowercase maintains the same chunky, rounded voice as the uppercase, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and bold.
