ONE WAY OF EXPERIMENTATION
Carolina Giovagnoli. March.2021. Last update January 2023

WEG* is an experimental pattern-font where legibility isn’t the focus.

This project studies how glyphs are constructed and how their ductus can be modified.
I explored how far I can move the limits if I don’t worry about the legibility.
In Weg, letters are built by a single line that connects them, along with words and paragraphs. When weight decreases, the legibility of the signs increases.
It’s a project in expansion.

The uppercase set contains, lining figures and basic punctuation in three weights: Regular, Light and Thin. The lowercases are a set of typographical patterns in three weights all connected and combinable. The current supported languages are Spanish, Guaraní and English. If you need any other language, please let me know. I would like to expand the character set.

(If you're looking for a font to use in a project where legibility is important, I suggest you to pick Telder ht, Alegreya ht, Andada ht, Cira ht, Piazzolla or any other type from our catalogue.)

Weg is a display font family.

Beauti– & useful typographical pattern set

WEG is an experimental in-expansion font family.
Here I’d like to present to you the second stage: The lowercase-pattern. Insted of legible lowercase I propose to you a set of typographical patterns in three weights all connected and combinable.
I don’t know what the next stage will be. Keep creating.
