Artwave Font twists every capital like a ribbon caught halfway through a turn. Thousands of hair-fine grooves run along the folds, so the grey surface ripples as the light moves, while an acid-lime glow leaks out from inside. Naturally it also brings a set of twisted spheres, cubes and knots in the same material.
Artwave Font Catches Letters Mid-Turn
Most display faces stand still, while the Artwave Font looks stopped halfway through a rotation. Each stroke folds over itself, so one side of the counter opens as the other closes. Underneath the movement sits an ordinary alphabet, and that is why whole words still read. Of course the effect hits hardest in short, loud lines.
Fine Grooves Do the Real Work
Look closely and the surface is ruled with thousands of hair-thin lines. They follow every fold, so the grey shifts from near-black to silver as the form turns. Meanwhile a sharp acid-lime glow slips out from between the twists. Against charcoal that green reads electric, though it never swallows the letter. Because of the grain, big sizes stay interesting instead of empty.
