A display typeface from Playtype with an editorial, character-driven personality suited to expressive typesetting.
About
Released by the Copenhagen-based Playtype foundry, The Wave carries a distinctive editorial voice that suits magazine layouts, book covers and campaign work. The page offers little technical detail, but the evocative framing suggests a face built for impact at larger sizes. It sits within Playtype's broader catalogue of expressive, design-led typefaces.
Classification
The name and the quoted editorial flavour suggest a distinctive display typeface; insufficient detail to confirm subcategory with precision, but the evocative, character-driven copy points to a display serif or expressive text face.
