A condensed, all-caps-forward display face built from tall black tiles with white letterforms carved out of the interior. Strokes are chunky and simplified, with uneven contours, occasional nicks, and irregular counters that read like cut paper or hand-cut stencil shapes. Terminals tend to be blunt, curves are slightly lumpy, and joins can pinch or flare, creating a jittery rhythm across words. Overall spacing and set width feel intentionally inconsistent, enhancing the ransom-note, collage-like texture in text.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, album covers, event flyers, title cards, and bold packaging where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or branding accents, but extended reading is less comfortable due to the busy interior carving and irregular rhythm.
The font projects a raw, rebellious energy with a DIY, underground sensibility. Its inverted, cut-out look and uneven edges evoke photocopied zines, punk flyers, and handmade signage, giving headlines a playful but slightly menacing attitude.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut, inverted letterforms placed on narrow blocks, prioritizing graphic punch and a gritty, analog feel over typographic neutrality. Its deliberate irregularity suggests a goal of creating a collage/ransom-note voice that stays legible while adding visual noise and character.
The tile-based silhouette creates strong vertical blocks and pronounced word shapes, especially in all caps. In smaller sizes the interior cut-outs and distressed edges may visually fill in, so it reads best when given room and strong contrast.
