A compact, vertically oriented display face built from heavy rectangular modules, where each character reads as a cutout carved from a solid block. The design relies on crisp, hard edges and simple geometric construction, with selective counters and notches that create a hollowed, inverted look. Strokes are simplified and often reduced to bold slabs and wedges, producing strong figure/ground interplay and a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Numerals and capitals feel especially monolithic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a similar modular logic with simplified bowls and stems.
Best suited for large-size applications where the interior cutouts remain clearly visible—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and bold signage. It can also work as a graphic accent in layouts where a strong block texture and figure/ground effect are desired, rather than long-form readability.
The overall tone is bold and graphic, with an industrial, label-like attitude that nods to retro signage and cut-paper lettering. Its strong negative-space shaping gives it a playful, puzzle-like character while still feeling assertive and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through a solid, modular silhouette while using internal removals to distinguish forms, creating an inverted cutout aesthetic that reads well as a stamped, stenciled, or label-inspired display style.
Because much of the letter identity is conveyed through internal cutouts and apertures rather than conventional stroke modeling, the font tends to create a dark, continuous band across a line of text, with punctuation and narrow joins adding a rhythmic, segmented cadence.
