A modular, grid-built display face with chunky, rectilinear outlines and stepped corners. Strokes are rendered as solid blocks punctuated by a regular pattern of small circular cutouts, creating a perforated, marquee-like texture that stays consistent across the set. Curves are squared off into pixel-like facets, counters tend to be boxy, and terminals end bluntly. Spacing and widths vary by character in a way that preserves compact, readable silhouettes while keeping the overall rhythm firmly geometric.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the perforated texture can read clearly—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and logo/wordmark treatments. It can also work well for retro-themed interfaces, scoreboards, and game UI where a grid-based aesthetic feels at home, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The perforated construction evokes punched tape, pegboard, or riveted signage, giving the design a retro-technological and industrial tone. It reads as game-era and gadgety, with a playful “lights/holes” effect that adds character without becoming overly decorative. The overall impression is mechanical, utilitarian, and distinctly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to merge classic pixel geometry with a distinctive perforated surface, producing a display font that feels engineered and tactile. It prioritizes strong, simplified silhouettes for instant recognition while using the dot cutouts to add a signature texture reminiscent of industrial fabrication or vintage electronic media.
The dot-perforation detail is prominent at text sizes and becomes a key part of the texture, so it benefits from generous sizing and clear contrast. The design’s stepped diagonals and squared curves reinforce a quantized, screen-like feel, while the consistent hole pattern helps unify mixed-case text and numerals into an even, patterned color.
