WeygelBodies Font
Author's note
Weygel Bodies, credited to Peter Flötner and Martin Weygel, is a free figural display font rooted in 16th-century art. Acrobatic human forms bend, balance, and gesture around the letter shapes. Each character resembles a tiny woodcut scene.
Historical and theatrical subjects suit its lively cast of figures. It can turn museum posters, book covers, or festival programs into playful period pieces. On themed packaging, the letters can function as miniature illustrations rather than ordinary product lettering.
