Typeface Design for Typotheque

Five slope variants per letter, sequenced automatically across the line

Plotter Wave is a subfamily within Typotheque's Plotter system, a large technical typeface family rooted in the hand-lettering conventions of architectural drafting and technical drawing. Its defining feature is a contextual OpenType substitution system that cycles through five slope variants per letter, progressing across each line from extreme backslant to extreme right slant. This mechanism—drawing on a glyph set of over 3,000 characters—gives every word a distinct, wave-like rhythmic pattern. Designed by Nikola Djurek and released in 2017, it is one of several specialized subfamilies available within the 47-font Plotter Suite.
