A condensed, vertically emphasized display face built from heavy rectangular blocks with the letterforms appearing as slim, cut-out counters inside. Strokes are rendered as open interior shapes with crisp, hard edges and minimal curvature, giving many glyphs a carved, inline feel. Proportions are tall with tight sidebearings and an irregular, hand-cut rhythm: curves (like C, S, and O) are simplified and slightly pinched, diagonals are steep, and joins can feel asymmetric. The result is a strong black silhouette at the word level with narrow white letterforms reading as negative space.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and label-style graphics where its inverted cut-out construction can be appreciated. It can also work for themed titles or UI badges, but is less appropriate for long-form reading due to its dense, high-ink word texture.
The overall tone feels bold and poster-like, with a utilitarian, sign-painting-meets-stencil attitude. Its cut-out construction adds a playful, slightly mischievous character that reads as retro and attention-grabbing rather than formal or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast and presence through an inverted, hollowed construction: a solid outer block that frames a narrow internal letterform. It prioritizes graphic punch and a distinctive, cut-out look over conventional text readability, aiming for a strong visual signature in display applications.
In text samples, the black block shapes dominate, creating a striking barcode-like texture across lines. Because the letterforms are defined by internal apertures, spacing and counters become critical to legibility, and the design reads best when given room (larger sizes or generous tracking).
