New Wave (design)

New Wave (design)

In design, New Wave refers to an approach to typography that actively defies strict grid-based arrangement conventions. Characteristics include inconsistent letterspacing, varying typeweights within single words and type set at unusual angles. [1]

Credit for the introduction of New Wave design is given to Wolfgang Weingart.[citation needed] April Greiman is credited for popularizing it in the United States.[citation needed]
