A highly graphic display face built from solid, uneven rectangular tiles with the letterforms knocked out in white. Strokes are simplified and often taper or pinch, with rough, hand-cut edges and occasional wedge-like terminals that create sharp internal angles. Counters are small and irregular, and curves appear carved rather than drawn, giving round letters a slightly lopsided, cutout feel. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, producing a bouncy, non-uniform rhythm while keeping a consistent tile-based silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album art, and event flyers where the cutout texture can read clearly. It also fits seasonal or themed applications—particularly spooky or playful horror styling—when set at medium to large sizes with generous tracking.
The font reads as rebellious and playful, with a collage-like, DIY energy that leans toward spooky-comic and punk zine aesthetics. Its high-contrast cutout construction suggests ransom-note and stencil-adjacent moods, making it feel loud, mischievous, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering placed on individual blocks, prioritizing bold contrast and a tactile, handmade presence over typographic regularity. Its variable glyph widths and uneven edges are likely deliberate to create a lively, DIY rhythm and an instantly recognizable display voice.
The black tile background is an integral part of the design, so the type’s personality depends heavily on the inverted, knocked-out look. At smaller sizes the narrow white interiors and rough cut edges can visually fill in, while at larger sizes the texture and irregularity become a feature.
