About Wanchy

Wanchy is a funky display face with strong Art Nouveau influences. Its forms are unconventional — not directly taken from any source in particular, and not abstracted into utter illegibility either. Wanchy feels psychedelic, but does so without imitating 1960’s and 70’s fonts, giving it potential for fresh ideas. 

Wanchy comes as a variable font with an optical sizing axis, or can be used in one of its five presets. The variable optical sizing allows you to use Wanchy at different point sizes while still matching the width of the thin strokes, leading to a pleasing coherence.

Wanchy is equipped with a versatile glyphset which includes 52 dingbats: arrows, emojis, flowers, manicules, and more. These can be activated by typing codes such as :emoji4: or :sunglasses:, or they can be selected manually.
