This font presents letters as white cutout forms sitting inside tall, black vertical tiles, creating a strong figure–ground inversion. Each glyph is compact and condensed, with simplified construction and small internal counters that read like punched or carved openings. The black tiles vary subtly in width and lean, producing an uneven, hand-placed rhythm across words and lines. Terminals are mostly blunt, curves are slightly lumpy, and straight strokes show organic waviness, yielding a deliberately imperfect, collage-like texture.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, and attention-grabbing packaging or labels. It can also work for short punchy captions or branding elements when a DIY, cut-paper look is desired, but the dense, cutout counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and handmade, with a ransom-note and DIY print-shop energy. The inverted tiles and cutout interiors give it a bold, graphic attitude that feels playful and slightly chaotic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic paper cutouts or punched lettering placed onto uneven black strips, emphasizing inversion and texture over typographic neutrality. Its irregular tile rhythm and simplified shapes prioritize visual impact and character, aiming for a handcrafted, collage-driven aesthetic.
Because the letterforms live inside individual dark blocks, spacing feels driven by the tile widths more than by traditional sidebearings, which creates a choppy, animated texture in text. Small details and tight counters suggest it will read best at larger sizes where the cutouts stay clear.
