New Wave Typography
New Wave typography connects to Wolfgang Weingart's experiments and their later influence, exploring freer relationships within modern typographic practice. Uneven spacing, angled text, halftone fields and overlapping layers interrupt flat order. Letters remain carriers of meaning while becoming visual materials with movement, texture and an unexpected sense of depth.

Prompt
