A dotted, monoline display face built from evenly spaced micro-strokes that read as a continuous outline at text size. Letterforms are largely geometric with rounded curves and simple construction, producing clean bowls and open apertures. The dot cadence is consistent across curves and straight segments, giving the alphabet a stitched or perforated contour, while overall spacing stays generous and the silhouettes remain light and uncluttered.
Best suited to headlines, captions, and short bursts of text where the dotted texture can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging accents, wayfinding or signage, and interface labels where a lightweight, technical outline look is desired.
The dotted construction conveys a technical, schematic feel with a light, playful edge, evoking perforations, LED-style plotting, or drafted outlines. Its airy texture softens the geometry, lending a friendly, contemporary retro tone rather than a heavy industrial one.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans-serif skeletons into a dotted, perforated outline system, prioritizing consistent rhythm and a clean, engineered feel. It aims to provide a distinctive texture while keeping forms recognizable and easy to scan.
Because the marks are discrete, the font’s character depends strongly on size and contrast: at smaller sizes it can read as a faint outline, while at larger sizes the dotted rhythm becomes a prominent texture. Numerals and capitals keep a straightforward, legible skeleton that favors clarity over ornament.
