A chunky, geometric display face built from heavy outer contours with interior cutouts that create an inverted, hollowed look. The forms are predominantly rectangular and squared-off, with occasional rounded counters and bowl shapes that read as white “windows” inside dark blocks. Terminals are blunt, corners are mostly hard, and many glyphs show stepped notches and sharp triangular nicks that add a stencil/cut-paper character. Proportions run wide with a tall x-height, producing large internal negative spaces and a strong, rhythmic pattern in lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks where the hollow/inverted construction can be appreciated at size. It also works well for playful branding, merchandise, and editorial openers that benefit from a bold, graphic texture.
The overall tone is bold and playful, with a retro sign-painting and cutout-poster energy. The inverted interior/exterior treatment makes the text feel graphic and attention-seeking, leaning more toward fun and novelty than neutrality.
Likely designed as a statement display font that turns letterforms into graphic shapes through an inverted, hollowed construction. The wide stance, tall x-height, and consistent cutout language suggest an aim for maximum visibility and a distinctive, poster-like presence rather than continuous reading at small sizes.
The design’s identity comes from consistent internal carving: counters and joins often appear as smooth, rounded voids inside a boxy shell, creating a distinctive black/white flip effect. The squared framing and repeated notch motifs make it especially striking in all-caps, while the lowercase keeps the same cutout logic and maintains a strong texture in paragraphs despite its display nature.
