A modular, square-built design with heavy rectangular strokes and consistent, grid-aligned construction. The letterforms are characterized by repeated circular perforations running through stems and bowls, producing a riveted or punched-tape look while keeping counters mostly rectangular and open. Corners are predominantly right-angled with occasional stepped cuts, and terminals are blunt, emphasizing a rigid, engineered rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display contexts where its perforated texture can be appreciated—game interfaces, arcade- or sci‑fi-themed titles, poster headlines, and branding that leans industrial or digital. It can also work for short UI labels or badges where a compact, systematized look is desired, though the internal dotting may become busy at very small sizes.
The perforated detailing gives the face an industrial, hardware-inspired tone that reads as both retro and tech-oriented. Its consistent grid logic and repeated dot pattern feel playful in texture while still conveying a mechanical, utilitarian personality reminiscent of signage, machinery labeling, or early digital aesthetics.
The design appears intended to merge classic grid-based letter building with a distinctive punched, riveted texture, creating immediate thematic association with mechanical surfaces and retro computing. Its consistent modular construction suggests a focus on uniformity and pattern-driven recognizability across glyphs.
The internal dot pattern is a defining texture that remains prominent even at display sizes, creating a strong black–white sparkle within strokes. Numerals follow the same punched construction and maintain uniform widths, reinforcing a systematic, coded feel in running text.
