Wave makes its first appearance in 1972, here on a ticket for the PNE Garden Auditorium. The ticket design with Tempo caps for the act and Wave for the date against a patterned background was introduced in 1973.

1970s concert tickets from theWave, the last published typeface by Robert Hunter Middleton (1898–1985), designed in 1962 for Ludlow. The not quite joining brush script was revived by Phil Rutter and published by Canada Type in c. 2004 as Coffee Script. In 2010, latter was revised and redigitized by Patrick Griffin and is now named Middleton Brush, "to better reflect the origins of the design, which was Middleton's response to Robert Smith's popular Brush Script."
