A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face built from tall rectangular blocks with letterforms carved out as negative space. Counters and inner shapes are sharply cut and often pinched or skewed, producing a high-contrast, “ink-and-paper” look where black mass dominates and the white interiors define the glyphs. Strokes feel angular and chiseled rather than smooth, with uneven sidebearings and a jittery rhythm that makes spacing and widths appear intentionally inconsistent. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and tight internal cavities that read as hollowed cutouts within heavy columns.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/track artwork, event flyers, and bold packaging labels where the heavy vertical texture can act as a graphic element. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from an intentionally rough, cutout-built identity, especially at larger sizes.
The font conveys a rebellious, handmade attitude—like ransom-note collage, screen-printed flyers, or photocopied zines. Its tall black bars and sliced interiors create a theatrical, slightly chaotic energy that feels loud and attention-seeking, with a playful menace suited to punk or sideshow aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic letters cut from solid black material—then revealed by interior knockouts—prioritizing graphic punch and a distinctive texture over neutral readability. Its irregular widths and carved details suggest an expressive display concept aimed at creating an instantly recognizable, handmade print voice.
In text samples, the strong vertical rectangles create a barcode-like color when set tightly, while the irregular cutouts keep each character distinct. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same carved-from-solid approach, emphasizing silhouette and negative-space shapes over conventional stroke logic.
