• WT Kraft (2018). A spiky art nouveau typeface.
• WT Monarch (2019). An update of Monarch, Monarch Nova (a typeface with tapered stems; with Margot Leveque) was released in 2020.
• WT Skrappa (2019). Inspired by lettering designed by the prolific British designer Ken Garland (1929-2021) in 1964 for the First Things First Manifesto. This manifesto, backed by over 400 designers, was a combined proclamation of solidarity against the accelerating consumerist culture of the era. The condensed Skrappa is one of the greatest dystopian fonts ever made.
