Diagonal stress type!

Göran Söderström · May 2015

Looking for type with a a diagonal stress in combination with heavy contrast.

What is out there? Any ideas? Classics or contemporary?

Thanks!

Trooper Roman. (But that’s cheating: it’s only the ‘o’s and ‘Q’ that are angled. Carnase’s other wild Roman, Bernase, also has the occasional angled stress.)

Yes, funny when they do it on only one or two letters.

I’m actually working on one, which is kind of a revival project, and I’m not sure how to adress the numerals as they are very condensed lining numerals. The angled contrast needs to change in some way due to the condensing, but can’t really figure out how. Everything looks odd, trying to find good examples.

Looks great from what I can see!

Yes, was directed to that one via Twitter. Looks nice, but from what I can see on the samples it’s also seems to be a ‘mixed’ contrast. It looks like the diagonal stress is only applied heavily on o, c and e — but much less (nothing?) on b, d, p, q etc.

Diagonal stress type!
