A multiline display revival of Tony Wenman's Letraset Stripes (1972), redrawn with eight parallel strokes and extensive OpenType features for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.
About
Based on Tony Wenman's Stripes, released by Letraset in 1972, this face replaces solid strokes with eight concentric lines, producing a hypnotic, variegated texture suited to posters, record covers and magazine headings. The family spans two styles: the core Latin-extended version and a PanEuro edition adding Greek monotonic and basic Cyrillic. An unusually deep feature set includes contextual alternates for connected upper and lowercase, swashes, extensions, isolated forms and a full range of figure styles. Awarded at the Tipos Latinos 8th Biennale in 2018.
Classification
A high-contrast, eight-line stroke display face derived from Letraset's Stripes (1972), explicitly ornamental and titling in function, with no body-text application intended.
