A tall, condensed display face built around solid rectangular tiles with the letterforms appearing as knocked-out (inverted) counters inside the blocks. Strokes read as sharp-edged and high-contrast due to the strong black mass surrounding relatively thin white interior shapes. The outlines and interior cutouts are intentionally irregular, with slightly wavy verticals, uneven joins, and small nicks that create a handmade, stamped or cut-paper effect. Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a jittery rhythm in words while maintaining a consistent tile-based silhouette across the set.
Best suited to posters, cover art, event promos, packaging accents, and other short-form display settings where bold tile-based letters can act as graphic elements. It also works well for punchy headlines, badges, and social graphics, especially on light backgrounds where the inverted cutouts stay crisp. For longer text, it’s more effective as an accent font than a primary reading face.
The overall tone is rebellious and tactile, with a collage-like, street-poster energy. Its rough, imperfect cutouts evoke punk flyers, zines, and rubber-stamp lettering, while the uniform black blocks add a bold, attention-grabbing presence. The result feels playful yet edgy, more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to merge an inverted, cutout construction with a distressed handmade finish, creating a strong modular presence without feeling mechanical. By pairing consistent black tiles with irregular interior carving, it aims to deliver maximum impact and a DIY attitude in compact, attention-driven typography.
Legibility remains strong at headline sizes because each glyph is contained within a consistent block, but the distressed edges and narrow interior shapes can thicken visually when scaled down or viewed at distance. The inverted construction (white letterforms carved from black) naturally favors high-contrast placement and benefits from generous line spacing in multi-line settings.
