Author's note

Waakwa by Wep is a free distorted display font with a wet, hand-squeezed silhouette. The letters look swollen and irregular, with soft, melting edges and lumpy joins that give the whole design a playful monster-movie wobble rather than a clean geometric rhythm.

This free font fits posters, zine covers, packaging, title cards, band graphics, and short social headers where a few words need a gooey, offbeat voice. It works best in brief bursts, because the heavy, puddled shapes turn simple words into graphic forms that feel tactile and a little unruly.
