A tall, tightly set display face built from narrow, rectangular letterforms with strong vertical emphasis. Each glyph sits inside a dark, blocky silhouette while the counters and inner strokes appear as lighter cut-outs, creating a striking figure/ground inversion. Edges are intentionally irregular and wavy, with a rough, handmade contour that varies subtly from glyph to glyph; bowls and terminals feel carved rather than drawn. The rhythm is uneven in an expressive way, with jittery sidebearings and slightly inconsistent widths that amplify the collage-like texture in words and lines.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/mixtape covers, event flyers, and bold editorial headlines where texture is desirable. It can also serve as a distinctive branding accent in logos or packaging, particularly in monochrome applications that emphasize the inverted cut-out effect.
The overall tone is rebellious and raw, like photocopied headlines, cut-and-paste ransom-note typography, or DIY gig flyers. Its high-impact, inverted look reads loud and confrontational, with a playful, slightly menacing energy that suits underground and alternative aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic handmade, cut-paper or stencil-cut lettering—deliberately imperfect, high-contrast, and visually noisy to create instant attitude. The inverted fill strategy and narrow, towering proportions prioritize punch and character over neutral readability, signaling a display-first purpose.
The inverted construction makes the interior shapes do much of the legibility work, so the design reads best when the dark silhouettes stay crisp and not overly reduced. The irregular outlines add motion and grit, which becomes especially prominent in long strings and repeated characters.
