A heavy, block-based display face built from irregular square tiles with reversed counters: each glyph reads as a light form punched out of a dark, slightly wavy box. The inner shapes are smooth and rounded-rect in feel, while the outer silhouette of each tile varies subtly, creating a jittery, hand-cut rhythm across lines. Strokes are thick and simplified with minimal detail, producing sturdy silhouettes; terminals and joins tend toward soft corners rather than sharp points, and overall spacing stays even thanks to the consistent tile structure.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy where the inverted tiles can act as a graphic motif—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and playful event flyers. It can also work for logo-type or section headers when you want a bold, cutout look that holds up at larger sizes.
The inverted cutout construction gives the type a crafty, collage-like personality—part ransom-note, part stamp set—while still feeling bold and friendly. Its uneven tile edges add a casual, human touch that reads as playful and a little mischievous rather than refined.
The design appears intended to combine a strong, high-impact display weight with a handcrafted cut-paper/printed-stamp aesthetic. By standardizing characters into irregular tiles while keeping the counters clear, it aims for immediate legibility at display sizes and a distinctive, modular texture in text.
Because the letterforms are embedded in solid blocks, the font creates strong rectangular texture and consistent color at the line level, with individuality coming from the slight distortions between tiles. The visual system also makes punctuation and numerals feel like matching signage elements rather than conventional text glyphs.
