Wefts Collection

Wefts is a slanted all-caps typeface designed by Aasawari Kulkarni to simulate the process of weaving by interlapping horizontal strokes. Initially inspired by the pixel-like patterns of the versatile Damask weaving, this variable typeface features a width axis that weaves individual letters in a textured pattern through the process of wefting. The static styles include a 'weaving' weight, a 'woven' weight, and a regular weight, along with a set of ornaments and borders. The furthest end of the axis is fully woven and plays with legibility as a tool to feel more like the texture of weaving rather than readable words. You get the legibility in the Regular–Weaving spectrum, and then it starts breaking down into a woven pattern. This pixel typeface treats modularity as a starting point to warp and weft individual pixels that act as digital threads, but also considers the in-betweens in the process of integration to form weaves. Overlap it, use it for ornamentation, patterns, textures, or for tactility.
