A condensed display face built from tall, boxy letterforms with inverted fill behavior: large, dark exterior masses with light counters and interior cutouts that read like punched or stenciled shapes. Strokes are irregular and jagged, with torn-looking edges, inconsistent terminals, and occasional spur-like protrusions that create a handmade rhythm. Counters are tight and often angular, and the overall silhouette stays upright and narrow while individual glyph widths vary noticeably, adding a restless texture in setting.
Best suited to short headlines and bold display applications such as posters, gig flyers, zines, and packaging where a distressed, cutout look is desirable. It can work for punchy subheads or logotype-style wordmarks when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the interior cutouts.
The font projects a raw, rebellious tone—like photocopied flyers, tape-and-scissor collage lettering, or distressed stamp impressions. Its high-impact black-and-white contrast and roughened contours feel loud, gritty, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to mimic handmade, distressed lettering produced through stamping, scraping, or collage, using inverted black shapes and carved-out counters to maximize impact. Its narrow, upright build and irregular detailing prioritize attitude and texture over smooth readability.
In text lines, the uneven edges and varying sidebearings create a jittery color that becomes part of the aesthetic. The inverted cutout construction makes small details prone to filling in at reduced sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the expressive damage and chiseled interior shapes.
