A tightly condensed, tall display face built from chunky rectangular silhouettes with crisp cut-out counters. Letterforms sit inside boxy outer shapes with uneven, hand-cut edges and small ink-trap-like nicks, creating a deliberately distressed, collage-driven rhythm. Strokes read as heavy slabs with abrupt terminals, while interior shapes are simplified and sometimes off-center, emphasizing the inverted cutout look. Spacing and widths fluctuate subtly from glyph to glyph, adding a jittery, assembled feel in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to bold headline settings such as posters, event graphics, album covers, and punchy brand marks where a gritty, handcrafted texture is desirable. It can also work for short callouts on packaging or social graphics, but its busy interior cutouts make it less ideal for long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone feels like DIY printmaking and cut-paper signage—punchy, slightly chaotic, and attention-grabbing. Its rough edges and high-contrast cutouts suggest zines, punk flyers, and playful retro posters rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through condensed proportions and a cut-out, inverted construction that reads like hand-assembled letterpress or stencil collage. Its controlled irregularities aim to add personality and motion while keeping a consistent, block-based system across letters and numerals.
Caps dominate with strong vertical emphasis, and the figures follow the same boxed, cutout construction, staying highly graphic at large sizes. The irregular contouring and internal voids create strong texture in lines of text, so readability is best when given generous size and breathing room.
