A display face built from chunky, irregular rectangular tiles with the letterforms knocked out as white negative space. The black outer shapes feel hand-cut, with wavy edges, uneven corners, and slight per-glyph size and alignment variation that creates a jittery rhythm. Counters and inner cuts are crisp but inconsistently shaped, giving an inked/stenciled look where curves become angular and terminal details can flare or pinch. Overall proportions are compact and tall, with tightly contained apertures and a strong silhouette driven more by the surrounding block than by traditional stroke construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, event flyers, and themed graphics where a rough, cutout aesthetic is desired. It can work for logos or badges when used at larger sizes with generous spacing, but is less appropriate for small UI text or long-form reading due to its dense texture and irregular rhythm.
The tone is gritty and collage-like, evoking DIY zines, ransom-note signage, and horror or Halloween titling. Its irregularity reads as playful menace rather than refined, and the stark black-on-white inversion gives it a bold, poster-ready punch.
The design appears intended to simulate handmade, tile-based lettering—like paper cutouts or stencil blocks—by inverting the usual fill so the characters emerge from negative space. It prioritizes attitude, texture, and recognizability over typographic neutrality, aiming for bold visual presence and a deliberately imperfect, human-made feel.
The font relies on the surrounding tile to define spacing, so texture increases quickly in longer words and lines. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong, blocky shapes, and the set maintains a consistent “cutout” concept even as individual glyphs wobble in width and edge treatment.
