Evy
Brutal Types · Paula Mastrangelo · 2025
A single-style reversed-contrast display typeface by Paula Mastrangelo, drawing on the exaggerated horizontal stress of 19th-century American wood type poster lettering.
About
Evy distils the spirit of American wood type display typography into a contemporary digital form, exaggerating thick horizontals against sharp verticals to produce an arresting rhythmic texture. Rather than replicating a specific historical specimen, Mastrangelo synthesises the genre's graphic exuberance into a cohesive typeface suited to logos, editorial headlines and packaging. Western Latin coverage is offered in a single style, released in 2025.
Classification
A reversed-contrast display typeface drawing on 19th-century American wood type traditions, where horizontal strokes are thick and verticals are thin – the inverse of conventional stroke contrast.
