The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

Wallpoet is inspired by the often political, short, sometimes provocative, sometimes funny or both, messages found on city walls, sprayed by some anonymous agent. Words, images or both!
The idea behind the font is making a font with a bit of punch, but still easy to use for template graffiti. Print, cut & spray - being the key concept. That's why it has no curves and off course is a stencil font.
With the font, Lars wants to pay respect to the urban guerilla scene, which has inspired him so often with it's total disrespect for the traditional and ingenious ability to break out of the traditional box.
