Wrightex
Brutal Types · Ramiro Espinoza · 2025
A single-style modular display typeface by Ramiro Espinoza, derived from Edward Wright's angular 1960 Architectural Association Journal cover lettering, built without curves and with reverse contrast.
About
Wrightex systematises the bold, reductive letterforms that English designer-architect Edward Wright produced for a 1960 AA Journal cover into a complete contemporary typeface. The strict modular grid, absence of curves and reverse contrast make it best suited to large-scale applications: posters, exhibition graphics, museum communication and branding. With only one style, its expressive range depends entirely on composition and scale rather than weight variation.
Classification
A modular display typeface built on a strict geometric system with reverse contrast and no curves, placing it firmly in the display category with constructivist geometric influences rather than any conventional text-type tradition.
