This typeface is built from thin outer contours with frequent gaps and cut-ins that create a broken, stencil-like outline. Strokes are uneven and slightly wobbly, with small nicks and tapered terminals that give the letterforms a distressed, hand-rendered edge. Curves are segmented rather than smoothly continuous, and joins often appear interrupted, producing a rhythmic pattern of small voids throughout the alphabet. The overall spacing is moderately open, and the shapes maintain legibility while leaning into irregular geometry and consistent “carved-out” detailing.
This font suits display use such as posters, title cards, album/mixtape artwork, and game or film branding where atmosphere matters more than typographic neutrality. It can also work on packaging or labels when a distressed, clandestine feel is desired. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes and generous line spacing to keep the outline breaks from visually accumulating.
The cutout outlines and fractured strokes produce an ominous, secretive tone—part crime-scene stencil, part occult poster. Its rough, handmade finish reads as gritty and expressive rather than polished, adding tension and drama to short messages. The look feels theatrical and slightly unsettling, with a vintage-noir undercurrent.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive outlined headline style with deliberately broken contours, mimicking stenciling, carving, or worn ink. The goal is strong personality and texture—an instantly identifiable, moody display voice—while keeping basic letter structures familiar enough for readable titles.
In the sample text, the repeated internal breaks become a strong texture across lines, so the font reads best when allowed some size and breathing room. The most distinctive characteristic is the consistent use of gaps and notches as a design motif, which creates a recognizable pattern even at a glance.
