A condensed, vertically oriented display face built from solid rectangular tiles with letterforms appearing as carved-out counters. The glyphs read as high-contrast silhouettes: heavy outer blocks with thin, organic interior voids that create the strokes. Edges are intentionally uneven and slightly warped, with inconsistent interior contours that add a hand-cut, analog texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a jittery rhythm while maintaining a consistent tall, stacked proportion across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited for bold headlines and short bursts of text where the tile-like blocks can act as graphic elements—posters, event flyers, album covers, and edgy brand marks. It can also work for packaging or apparel graphics when set large, where the cutout counters remain clearly legible and contribute texture.
The overall tone feels rebellious and underground, mixing a stark black-and-white punch with a DIY, cut-paper attitude. It suggests zines, club flyers, and cryptic signage—graphic, confrontational, and slightly chaotic rather than polished or corporate.
The font appears designed to turn each character into a compact graphic stamp, using inverted cutouts to create a striking black mass with recognizable internal shapes. The deliberate irregularity and variable widths suggest an intention to evoke hand-made lettering, stencil/collage processes, and high-impact display typography rather than continuous reading.
The design relies on interior negative shapes for recognition, so the color-inverted construction is a core part of its identity. At small sizes the thin internal cutouts may close up, while at larger sizes the rough interior contours become a prominent stylistic feature. Numerals and punctuation follow the same tile-and-cutout logic, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-first voice.
