The typeface is designed to work both horizontally and vertically. In addition, the typefaces can collaborate in myriad chromatic expressions-providing limitless style possibilities.
The household is real to the spirit of masonry lettering without being a direct lift of any particular lettering style from the commercial age. Like a few of its masonry predecessors Stack is constructed as a typeface of 15 courses (horizontal rows) of 'bricks.'
Based on a number of years of research study a collection of 150+ pictures and roughly 2 dozen archival engineering drawings were accumulated. The worth of the historical referrals is a type household that is a legitimate reflection of masonry lettering designs of the period.
In upgrading Stack for the digital age, the proportions of the base-unit 'bricks' and the density of 'mortar' joints have actually been optically adapted to operate in both screen-based and print media.
Stack would not have been possible without the research study and style input from Craig Welsh and Jenna Flickinger of GoWelsh.
