Typewriter slab serif
Wigenda Typewrite is a typewriter slab in dark brown on an off-white wall: heavy unbracketed serifs, a large x-height and generous spacing, with a wide-tracked line beneath and a third line in tiny caps, set above the keys and paper of a vintage machine.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The word is set once in caps and the drawing is a typewriter slab: the serifs are flat and unbracketed, the stems are uniform, and the terminals are blunt, which gives the face the mechanical rhythm of a machine rather than the finish of a book face. The tracking is loose enough that the letters read individually, which is what makes a typewriter face feel like struck type, and the two shorter lines beneath use the same structure at a fraction of the size. Because the machine in the photograph sits below the type, the plate shows the source of the form, and the paper roll gives context for the intent. The palette is one warm brown on a light ground, which keeps the letterforms legible without any decoration.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Wigenda Typewrite’s stroke geometry.
A typewriter slab reads as a hand-typed tag, and the uniform stems survive on an uncoated label where a high-contrast serif would fill with fibre.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm label: the roastery at 14 pt, the origin in a 7 pt slab, and the roast date at 6 pt. Keep 4 mm inside the die and print one ink on kraft so the blunt serifs stay sharp.
Pre-production check
Check the 14 pt name on kraft, where a 1 pt serif can thicken; keep the size above 11 pt. Confirm the 6 pt date reads at arm's length and that the label survives a damp wipe.
A typewriter slab carries a manuscript flavour at text size, and the large x-height keeps a long essay readable in a narrow measure.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
B-format interior: the body at 10.5 pt with 15.5 pt leading, the chapter heads at 20 pt, and 60 characters per line. Print one ink on a cream stock and keep the running head at 7.5 pt.
Pre-production check
Check a full page at 10.5 pt, where the loose spacing may overrun the measure; adjust the tracking. Confirm the 15.5 pt leading holds the column and that the running head stays distinct.
A typewriter slab gives a small wedding a typed note, and the loose tracking lets a date and a place read as a line from a letter.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the names at 20 pt, the date at 11 pt caps with wide tracking, and the venue at 8 pt. Keep 16 mm margins and print one ink on a textured card so the blunt serifs hold.
Pre-production check
Check the 11 pt date, where wide tracking can push the line past the margin; count the characters first. Confirm the 8 pt venue reads at arm's length and that the card takes a stamp cleanly.
