Wind Font: Layered Capitals for Optical Pattern Compositions

Typotheque’s original Wind page describes a capitals-only design whose layers can be overlaid for optical patterns. Its overview shows NE, SE, SW and NW styles and a variable resource. Those names identify supplied design choices; they do not establish that any ordinary letter rotated on a page becomes Wind.

Using the original resource in your editor, duplicate “MOTION” into two precisely aligned text objects. Change the supplied layer/style and color on one copy while keeping size and position fixed. Compare each alone before viewing the overlay. If you offset the second word, keep an aligned copy alongside it: that lets you distinguish interaction between the supplied patterns from an effect caused by misregistration.

Place a plain date and venue beneath the graphic word, then compare the poster at its intended viewing size. Decide whether the patterned word must be immediately readable or may function primarily as an image. Preserve live text and the exact layer order in the editable document. Do not infer variable axis names from a directional style label. The on-site profiles below are independent display comparisons and do not implement Wind’s layers.
