This font is built from tall, narrow, black rectangular tiles with the letterforms appearing as light, cut-out counters inside each tile. Edges are intentionally uneven and slightly warped, producing a jittery silhouette and inconsistent side bearings from glyph to glyph. Strokes are simplified and condensed, with sharp notches, occasional wedge terminals, and angular joins that create a rugged, collage-like texture in text. Counters are prominent and sometimes pinched or asymmetrical, reinforcing a carved or punched-out effect across the set.
Best suited for headlines and short display copy where the tile-based rhythm can become part of the graphic composition. It fits posters, album/mixtape artwork, event flyers, apparel graphics, packaging accents, and identity marks that want a raw, cut-and-paste personality. For longer passages, it works most effectively in brief bursts (pull quotes, labels, or section headers) where its strong texture won’t overwhelm readability.
The overall tone feels rebellious and DIY, like handmade signage, zines, or taped-up ransom-note typography. Its rough geometry and high-impact contrast read as edgy and energetic rather than polished or corporate, giving layouts a loud, underground attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate inverted cut-paper or stencil cutouts placed on tall black strips, prioritizing impact, texture, and a distinctive blocky cadence. Its controlled irregularity suggests a purposeful “handmade but systemized” approach meant to stand out in bold graphic contexts.
Because each character sits within its own dark block, words form a rhythmic sequence of vertical slabs; this creates strong patterning and makes spacing and line breaks visually conspicuous. The irregularities are consistent enough to feel like a deliberate system, but the lively distortion means it performs best when the goal is texture and voice over neutrality.
