Wevli

Wevli is a revival from Ray Larabie’s earlier foundry, Larabie Fonts. The design was rebuilt from scratch to make a practical, quality typeface, free from constraints of the original design. Lower x-height, longer descenders and vital corrections to the vowels increase legibility without defeating the character of the original. Style-wise, Wevli has an inky technical pen look that leans toward futurism. Razor-sharp vertices mingle with quarter-squared bowls to contrast with the profusion of rounded forms, yet compliment them at the same time.

Wevli is deliberately inconsistent, with one effect in mind to get the eye’s attention and force the consumer (victim) to read your message. Wevli italics depart from the normal set with freer forms and cues from widely differing sources, including a true cursive s, e and curled l.

Wevli has 8 weights, including condensed and bold versions. Wevli Dingbats can be used in-line for consistent results and create perky borders and graphics.

All styles include upper and lower case, numerals, accents and punctuation. This font is available in OpenType, TrueType and PostScript for both Mac and Windows.

Wevli is display font that works remarkably well for small amounts of text and headlines. Greeting cards, poetry and short blocks of prose have a nice uniqueness when written in Wevli. Try it on posters, newsletter headlines and packaging where it’s neat quirkiness can give your text added impact.
