A condensed, vertical display face built from tall rectangular glyph blocks with a strong black surround and irregular white interior counters. The letters read as “carved” or cut out of solid shapes: stems and bowls are formed by thin, high-contrast negative spaces that wobble slightly and create a distressed, hand-cut rhythm. Proportions are narrow with small apertures and tight internal spacing, and the silhouettes stay largely rectangular rather than following classic serif or grotesk outlines. The overall texture is bold and poster-like, with noticeable per-glyph irregularities that feel intentional rather than purely geometric.
Best suited to short, punchy display settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and bold packaging where the inverted cutout look can carry the design. It works well when used at medium-to-large sizes and with ample line spacing to keep the dense rectangular texture from overwhelming the layout.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude—somewhere between ransom-note collage, screen-printed poster, and industrial stencil. Its inverted, cutout construction gives it a dramatic, high-impact presence that feels edgy and slightly chaotic, with a noir/underground energy.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or printed block letters with an inverted, hollowed interior—prioritizing attitude and texture over neutral readability. Its narrow, upright structure and strong rectangular framing aim for maximum impact in limited horizontal space.
In running text the repeated black rectangles create a strong banded rhythm; spacing and counter shapes are highly expressive, so the face is most effective when the rough edges and cutout detail can be appreciated. The numerals match the same block-and-cut aesthetic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
