Member sla… Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Hi everybody, could somebody give my advice where can I find some information about reverse italic from history? or upright italic? Where can I find some left leaning text typeface? (I don't mean typefaces used for german cartographic maps) Thanks. Link to comment
Member mir… Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi, there are a few notes in the book »Kursiv« (Henrik Weber | Niggli) about upright and left cursives. But not a bunch of information, unfortunately. For upright italics you could research a bit in the direction of ff seria or vllg odile (there are certainly more). Also I am currently working on a left italic semi script for gestalten fonts to be delivered by end of February. Since i like this genre as well, i am curious what you intend to do with these?

Member sla… Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi, is this book also in English? Well, I'm interested in this kind of type because my handwriting is also left leaning, so I would like to find out how people with this handwriting can perceive it in text, but also how impression can feel other people. So mostly I'm keen of reverse italic. I'm looking forward when I will see your version :) Link to comment
Member Ria… Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 For an upright italic you might try Joos: http://www.typographies.fr/uk/index.php?page=fontes&s=Joos The link contains a (very short) amount of history, but you might try contacting the designer for any research he may have conducted.

Member mir… Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 (Oh sorry, i am new here and missed the updates on this thread) no, this book is in german, unfortunately. There is not much information about this as well. i will try to translate in short: · they were/are rather marginally relevant · origins from diverse applications as the need for more than one distinction · most important ambit: cartography (mainly for river names) · usage in advertising industry for unique effects · from time to time still seen on posters and other advertising media · in the division of handwriting it occurs much more this seems to be less attributable to some templates than rather a product of individual handwriting (like you told for your case) and then I remember some templates in the (spencarian (?)) penmanship books (available in the web) I hope this could help a bit Link to comment
Member Kar… Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Mark, I really like Canary, particularly in the lighter weights. It is incredibly legible even at very small sizes. Link to comment

Member rdo… Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Some really helpful information here, I'm looking at trying a new font on my troubleshooting guide ( http://www.compuchenna.co.uk/how-to-delete-duplicate-files/ ), one that is easier on the eye. So I've been browsing around, still haven't made up my mind yet. Link to comment
