Customer Spotlight: Wawa

With nearly 600 locations across the Mid-Atlantic, Wawa is a chain offering not only typical convenience store staples, but also assortments of freshly made sandwiches, soups and salads.

Wawa’s website features the ITC Officina Sans family exclusively for its display typography. Headlines, subheads, and navigation are set in the typeface’s bold weight, while the website’s footer and breadcrumb trail utilize the book weight.

Designed by Erik Spiekermann, ITC Officina Sans is a friendly sans serif typeface; warm and genial, Spiekermann’s design conveys information clearly without appearing too mechanical or didactic.

ITC Officina Sans is available for desktop licensing, as well as for Web use through the Fonts.com Web Fonts service. In addition to book and bold weights, ITC Officina Sans is also available in medium, extra bold, and black styles.
