A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and broad, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from simple, sturdy shapes with open counters and a consistent, even color across the line. A distinctive interior cut pattern—small circular perforations and inline-style openings—runs through the strokes, creating a hollowed, patterned texture while preserving the bold outer silhouette. Spacing appears moderate and the overall construction stays clean and upright, with legible forms in both uppercase and lowercase and similarly robust numerals.
Best suited to display typography where the patterned interior can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI or social graphics when used at sufficiently large sizes to keep the perforation detail crisp.
The perforated inline treatment gives the face an industrial, fabricated feel—like stamped metal, marquee panels, or punched signage—while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable. The result reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a lightly playful, decorative tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, readable silhouette while adding personality through a carved, perforated inline effect. It aims to evoke manufactured materials and decorative display lettering without sacrificing straightforward, geometric letter construction.
The internal perforations are dense enough to become a key visual feature at larger sizes, turning strokes into patterned surfaces rather than flat fills. In smaller settings the texture may visually merge, so the design’s character is most apparent when given room.
