A heavy, block-based display sans built from square, monolithic letterforms with carved-out, organic counters. The design reads as a dark slab of ink punctured by teardrop and wedge-shaped apertures, creating strong positive/negative interplay and a distinctly stencil-like construction. Strokes are largely orthogonal with occasional curved scoops and notches, and interior voids vary notably from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally uneven texture. Spacing and widths feel purposefully inconsistent, emphasizing a modular, cut-and-paste rhythm rather than a traditional typographic cadence.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, and bold brand marks where the cutout details can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or event graphics that benefit from a gritty, experimental texture, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The overall tone is experimental and slightly abrasive, mixing brutalist mass with playful, almost liquid cutouts. It suggests a glitch or collage sensibility—bold, attention-seeking, and graphic—more about impact and attitude than neutrality or refinement.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sans structure through a block-and-cutout system: maximizing mass, then sculpting identity via irregular internal voids. The goal seems to be high-impact display typography with a distinctive, modular texture that stands out immediately in short phrases.
Counters can become quite small or partially occluded, so clarity drops quickly as size decreases. The strongest visual identity comes from the recurring ‘carved’ openings and the stark square silhouette around many characters, which creates a strong tiled, poster-like texture in lines of text.
