A condensed, poster-like display face built from tall rectangular tiles, with letterforms carved out as light shapes inside dense black blocks. The counters and inner cutouts feel hand-cut and slightly irregular, producing sharp notches, uneven curves, and occasional chiseled corners. Stroke relationships are defined more by negative space than by drawn strokes, creating a stark figure/ground effect with punchy interior shapes. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the line a jittery rhythm while keeping a consistent vertical, columnar silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, event posters, album/mixtape art, and bold packaging or apparel graphics where a gritty, high-impact texture is desirable. It also works well for logos or short taglines that can lean into the tiled, cutout look and the intentionally uneven rhythm.
The overall tone is rebellious and handmade, evoking zine typography, ransom-note collage, and screen-printed gig posters. Its stark black-and-white inversion and rough cutouts push a confrontational, street-art energy that reads loud and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut stencil or collage lettering by prioritizing dramatic negative-space carving inside solid blocks. It aims for maximum contrast and attitude over neutrality, delivering an expressive, printmaking-inspired display voice that feels stamped, chopped, and unapologetically raw.
The block-backed construction makes each character feel like a stamped label or tile, helping it hold together in short bursts but adding visual noise in longer passages. Distinctive counters and deep cutouts create strong texture at a distance, while the irregular edges introduce a lively, gritty movement up close.
