Asset Description

Wavehewn is a tiki font that looks carved, not drawn. Each stem has small wave-shaped notches cut into its sides, the ends of C, G and S curl into tight spirals, and the bold rounded capitals sit heavy on the line like letters chiselled into a canoe paddle.

It is Polynesian-inspired, not a copy of any real carving tradition, and every letter stays a plain Latin letter you can read from across a room. The lowercase keeps the same notches in a smaller, friendlier form, so a short headline in mixed case still reads well.
