Stripes in use

An 8-line typeface designed by Tony Wenman and made available by Letraset for dry-transfer lettering as part of Letragraphica 11 in 1973. [Daines] No lowercase, but with several alternates that allow users to turn it into “a completely flowing, linking face”. Users were further encouraged to create variations “just by eliminating some lines, or filling them in”. [Letraset] Lettergraphics shows a phototype adaptation as Lined Stripes. [1976 catalog] There is a commercial digitization by Ralph M. Unger (profonts, 2006, also sold by Thinkdust), but it doesn’t include the alternates nor the original dotted ‘i’. See Iván Moreno’s Octothorpe (PampaType, 2020) for a much more ambitious reinterpretation and expansion.
