Retra

by Tomoyuki "Tee-Wat" Watanabe · Website

Retra is a decorative katakana display face by Tomoyuki "Tee-Wat" Watanabe, with brush-inflected strokes that give each character a calligraphic energy without losing the crisp structure of the kana. The letterforms feel bold and expressive, rooted in traditional Japanese brushwork but stylized enough for contemporary use in posters, packaging, and display settings where the type needs to carry visual weight on its own.
