Wavetable

Wavetable typeface specimen.

I released Wavetable on July 6, 2021. The design began with an “E” that had squared exterior forms and rounded counters, which set the tone for the rest of the alphabet. I was immersed in software emulations of 1990s Ensoniq wavetable synthesizers at the time, and that influence found its way into the name. The font is unicase, though not in the conventional sense; it mixes ascenders and descenders rather than aligning everything to a single case height. One unusual detail is the R, which bends toward a K-like form. Wavetable was released as a paid font, available in a single style, and has not been updated since. It has not been used in notable projects but reflects my interest in atypical letter strategies paired with musical references.
