A geometric, modular display face built from heavy strokes with extensive internal perforations. Corners are consistently chamfered, giving many glyphs an octagonal, machined outline, while curves are simplified into rounded rectangles and clipped arcs. The letterforms are largely constructed from straight segments and broad radii, with counters that read open and blocky; many joins and terminals feel engineered rather than calligraphic. The perforation pattern is regular and repeated across strokes, creating a dotted inner contour that stays consistent through caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and event promotions where the perforated texture can be appreciated. It also works well for industrial- or retro-themed branding accents, labels, and short UI callouts, especially when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is industrial and retro, evoking riveted metal, stamped signage, and theater-marquee lighting. The repeated holes add a lively sparkle and a sense of fabrication, making the face feel both mechanical and playful.
This font appears designed to merge a sturdy geometric skeleton with a distinctive perforated/knockout texture, mimicking fabricated or illuminated materials. The intention seems to be high-impact display readability paired with a memorable, patterned surface treatment that signals industry and nostalgia.
Because the perforations occupy much of the stroke interior, the design relies on clean reproduction and sufficient size to keep the dotted detail from filling in. The simplified geometry and chamfered corners produce a steady rhythm in headlines, while the dense pattern can become visually busy in long passages.
