About Wallpoet
Wallpoet is a stencil display typeface in which every curve has been replaced by straight strokes and clipped corners. Lars Berggren drew it with the short political and humorous messages sprayed on city walls in mind, and the official notes sum up the working idea as print, cut and spray: the bridges that hold a stencil together are part of each letter. In the specimen the forms are wide and heavy, bowls become rectangles with chamfered corners, and the zero carries a diagonal slash. A full lowercase sits alongside the capitals. The family is one Regular style with 240 glyphs covering the basic Latin set, enough for English, French, German, Spanish and the Nordic languages. Wallpoet is not a variable font and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
Where Wallpoet works
- Cut-and-spray stencils
- With no curves and a bridge in every closed letter, the outlines can be printed, cut from card and sprayed without the counters dropping out.
- Slogan posters
- Wide, heavy letters carry a five-word message at poster size, the kind of wall text the design was drawn after.
- Game and tech titles
- Rectangular bowls and chamfered corners give title screens, level names and stream overlays a machined look.
- Crate-style labels
- Stencil breaks read as stamped marking, and the slashed zero keeps batch codes and numbers unambiguous on a label.
