Evy

Evy is a reversed contrast display typeface designed by Paula Mastrangelo, inspired by the bold, unconventional charm of 19th-century wood type—particularly the exaggerated styles developed in the United States for posters, show bills, and advertising. Evy embraces the striking horizontal stress and playful proportions that made these typefaces stand out in crowded visual landscapes.
Rather than replicating a single specimen, Mastrangelo distilled the spirit of the genre into a cohesive, contemporary typeface. Evy exaggerates its thick horizontals and sharp verticals to create a rhythm that is both unexpected and highly legible, making it perfect for logos, editorial headlines, packaging, and visual identities that demand attention.
With its roots in the energetic world of 19th-century display typography and a fresh digital interpretation, Evy celebrates the graphic exuberance of early advertising while offering designers a unique and expressive typographic tool.
