A condensed, vertical display face built from black tiles with white cut-out letterforms. The counters and interior shapes feel carved rather than drawn, creating a hollowed, inverted look where the letter is defined by negative space inside a solid block. Strokes are generally straight and simplified, with slightly irregular edges and small notches that add a handmade, stenciled rhythm. Spacing reads as tight and modular, emphasizing a strong grid and a consistent, label-like silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, title cards, logos, and label-style graphics where the black-tile framing can become part of the design. It can also work for packaging accents or editorial callouts, especially when a cut-out/stamp look is desired. For long reading, the dense modular texture may be visually heavy, so it’s most effective in display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and graphic with a slightly mischievous, collage-like energy. Its inverted cut-out construction suggests signage, packaging, and stamp aesthetics, mixing a utilitarian feel with a quirky, experimental edge. The tiled presentation gives it a cinematic noir/industrial flavor while still reading as playful and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast and presence through an inverted, cut-out construction inside solid blocks. It prioritizes a modular, stamped visual system over conventional text smoothness, aiming for a distinctive tile-and-stencil identity that stays recognizable at a glance.
Because each character sits in a solid rectangular field, the font’s texture is dominated by block shapes and the negative-space letterforms inside them. This makes punctuation and narrow letters feel especially punchy, and it encourages use where strong shape recognition matters more than delicate typographic nuance.
