Blaze Type · Malo Haffreingue · 2023
A backslant display face by Malo Haffreingue that draws on graffiti tag culture, built around an unusually rich set of 293 ligatures connecting up to five letters at once.
About
Designed by Malo Haffreingue and released in 2023, Gueta takes its visual cues from the spontaneity and flow of tagged writing, rendered as a formal display typeface with a backward slant. The 293-ligature system is its defining technical feature, allowing letter sequences to flow together with a momentum rarely found in a single-weight release. Best suited to posters, headlines and graphic applications where the connected, kinetic letterforms can read at scale.
Classification
Gueta is a display typeface with a backward-slanting (backslant) structure rooted in urban writing and graffiti tag aesthetics, placing it firmly in the display category with a distinct street vernacular subcategory.
