A condensed, poster-like display face built from tall rectangular silhouettes with the letterforms appearing as knocked-out (negative) shapes inside solid black blocks. Strokes are high-contrast and largely straight-sided, with occasional wedge-like tapers and small irregular nicks that give edges a rough, hand-cut feel. Counters are tight and simplified, producing a strong vertical rhythm; spacing and widths vary per glyph, enhancing the cut-and-paste impression. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with the black tiles functioning like built-in backgrounds for each character.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, flyers, and packaging moments where a bold graphic statement is desired. It suits music and nightlife applications (album art, gig promos) and branding that leans into DIY, gritty, or retro-collage styling rather than body copy.
The font reads as rebellious and attention-grabbing, like ransom-note collage typography or hand-cut stencil work. Its stark black-and-white inversion and condensed proportions create a dramatic, slightly ominous tone suited to edgy, underground aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic inverted cutout lettering—letters carved out of dark tiles—combining a condensed billboard structure with distressed, hand-made imperfections. The goal is maximum contrast and immediacy, prioritizing graphic presence and attitude over neutrality.
Because many glyphs are framed by solid blocks, the type creates heavy overall color and can feel visually loud in longer lines. The irregular internal edges add character but also introduce intentional roughness that becomes more pronounced at small sizes or tight tracking.
