A condensed, heavy display face built from solid rectangular counters with the letterforms appearing as cut-outs within dark, boxy tiles. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with rounded corners and soft curves that keep the weight from feeling purely geometric. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven rhythm, while the tall lowercase and compact spacing reinforce a stacked, vertical feel. The overall look is defined by strong figure/ground inversion: the glyphs read as light shapes carved out of dense, dark blocks, producing crisp silhouettes and emphatic negative space.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album art, sticker graphics, and bold packaging. The inverted, tile-like forms also work well for labels, badges, and social graphics where a punchy, cut-out look helps type compete with imagery.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous energy—part ransom-note collage, part DIY signage. Its irregular rhythm and tile-based construction feel tactile and streetwise rather than polished, lending a bold, attention-grabbing tone that reads as loud, youthful, and slightly rebellious.
The design intention appears to be a high-visibility display alphabet that uses inverted, cut-out letterforms to create instant contrast and a modular, collage-like texture. It prioritizes characterful word shapes and graphic presence, aiming for a DIY/handmade sensibility while remaining readable at large sizes.
Because each character sits in a strong rectangular tile, word shapes form a choppy, modular texture that stays highly legible at display sizes but can feel busy in longer passages. Numerals and capitals are especially punchy, with simplified interiors and sturdy, block-first construction that prioritizes impact over subtlety.
