À propos de la famille


Westy draws on the legacy of wood type, adopting its directness and impactful logic, while subverting its construction rules. Where these historical models rely on definite balance, Westy introduces a controlled instability. The design of the capitals is based on a deliberately arbitrary distribution of mass. The contrasts do not follow a traditional logic: they are displaced, redistributed, almost dissonant—while remaining rigorously constructed. This internal tension produces forms that are both familiar and unexpected. The lowercase letters, more compact, provide a solid foundation for the text. Their stability contrasts with the treatment of the rounded forms, in which aggressive, closed curves break the expected continuity. This gesture introduces a form of resistance to reading, without ever compromising it. Used in capitals, Westy becomes an image: the letter repeats itself, intensifies, and generates a pattern. The word then shifts toward a surface logic, almost ornamental. In standard typesetting, typography regains a more legible function, but retains its internal vibrancy. The system of weights amplifies these effects. Depending on their depth, the contrasts intensify, altering the perception of forms and their visual impact. Westy thus plays on variations in density to make the reading experience oscillate between stability and tension. Westy explores a typography of controlled imbalance, where the letter becomes a point of friction between inherited structure and contemporary disruption.

À propos Pizzatypefaces

An independent type foundry that designs expressive, contemporary and custom typeface for ambitious creative projects. Active on the international scene, it develops a bold and evolving catalog, designed to meet current design uses. Combining formal research, technical know-how and contemporary ideas, we create singular, functional and resolutely modern characters. His typographic heritage serves as an anchor point for a current writing: from super-families and variable fonts to more experimental characters, each creation creates a dialogue between the memory of forms and the energy of its time. The foundry also puts its expertise at the service of major brands by designing personalized characters, designed to assert strong and distinctive identities. The path of our foundry is that of a constant dialogue between heritage and innovation. We tap into typographic history to extract its essence, then reinterpret it with contemporary tools, uses and sensibilities. Whether it is superfamilies, variable fonts or more singular characters, our ambition is to create durable, expressive and useful fonts, able to accompany strong brand identities as well as demanding cultural projects.
