Original specimen by TypeFactory

Waved condensed display

Wavytion

Wavytion is a waved display in white over a photograph of a portable record player: very tall narrow forms whose stems bend into broad alternating waves, so the word reads as a ribbon, with a second line in a softer wave beneath and small notes in the corners.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Wavytion.

The word fills the centre of the plate and the drawing is a condensed face whose stems are bent into repeated waves, which turns a line of text into a graphic ribbon. That construction sets a large size floor and makes the face unsuitable for anything but a short word, because the wave pattern compounds across letters and the counters close when the letters shrink. The plate sets a second, smaller line in a gentler wave beneath, which usefully shows that the effect can be dialled down. The record player behind it is staging that names the retro register, and the corner notes carry the year, the formats and the language support. Because the letters are decorative and linked, the face suits a poster, a sleeve and a cover line rather than a heading in running text.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Wavytion’s stroke geometry.

Summer

Poster for a retro night

A waved ribbon reads as a record sleeve title, and the tall forms hold across a poster at club distance. The ribbon reads as a sleeve at poster size.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

A2 poster: the night at 110 mm cap height, the date in a 24 mm sans, and the venue at 12 mm. Keep 30 mm margins and print one colour on a dark stock. Leave 30 mm under the date for the venue.

Pre-production check

Check the A2 at five metres, where the waves can blur into a pattern; keep 4 mm between stems. Confirm the 12 mm venue reads at two metres and that the ribbon stays even.

Editorial & posters

Cover for a music release

A waved display turns a title into an image, and the single colour prints cleanly on a sleeve with a photograph behind it.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Set the title at 90 mm cap height across 190 mm, the artist in a 10 pt sans, and the catalogue number at 7 pt. Print one ink on a coated stock and keep 20 mm margins.

Pre-production check

Check the title at 90 mm, where a wave can collide with the letter beside it; add tracking. Confirm the 7 pt catalogue number survives lamination and that the title clears the trim.

Brand & packaging

Mark for a record shop

A waved mark gives a shop a sign that reads as a groove, and the tall forms fit a narrow fascia. A groove reads before a shop name does.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Cut 700 by 300 mm vinyl: the shop at 100 mm cap height, the hours in a 20 mm sans, and a 4 mm contour. Keep 22 mm margins and keep the wave stem above 6 mm.

Pre-production check

Check the cut at 100 mm, where a 4 mm stem can tear on weeding; widen it to 6 mm. Confirm the 20 mm hours read at two metres and that the wave clears the frame.
