A tall, condensed display face built from solid, blocky tiles with letterforms carved out as bright counters. Strokes are simplified and high-contrast, with irregular, hand-cut contours and occasional nicks and bumps that create a rough, printed texture. The design is largely upright with a tight overall footprint, but individual glyphs show slight width and contour variation that produces an uneven rhythm. Curves and diagonals feel compressed and angular, and the numerals match the same cutout construction and rugged edges.
Best suited to short display settings where its bold tiles and carved counters can be read at a glance—posters, headlines, album/cover graphics, packaging callouts, and event flyers. It also works well for badges, labels, and punchy on-screen titles where a gritty, handmade texture is desired.
The cutout construction and jittery edges give it a zine-like, ransom-note energy that reads as mischievous and attention-seeking. It feels tactile and analog—more like inked stamps or paper collage than clean digital type—making the tone playful, edgy, and slightly chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic an inverted cutout or stamped aesthetic, prioritizing impact and personality over smooth refinement. By combining condensed proportions with irregular, carved interiors, it aims to produce a striking, tactile look that feels crafted and slightly anarchic.
The heavy tiles create strong rectangular silhouettes and pronounced negative shapes, so spacing and texture become as important as the strokes themselves. The distinctive counters and irregular sidebearings can create lively word shapes, but the rugged interior cutouts may reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense text blocks.
