Author's note

Wave is a free trash font from 2013 with a wiry, hand-drawn rhythm that feels scraped together rather than neatly set. The letters wobble between thin spikes and swollen curves, giving the line a restless, slightly unruly motion that fits the name without leaning on obvious wave tricks.

It works well for zine covers, indie music flyers, poster headlines, rough brand marks, and title cards where a free font can carry a raw, offbeat voice. Keep it to short words or brief lines - the irregular swing and scratchy silhouette do the work best when the letters have room to feel loose.
