Tomorrow’s new typeface: Backslanted

A series about backslanted typefaces by CSTM Fonts

11 November 2025

Backslanted is not a font family, but rather a font series including backslanted typefaces of various styles, weights and angles. The series explores backslanted forms defined by their drawing tools (a ruler and a driver) with a minimum amount of optical compensations. Backslanted began in 2022 as a response to a feeling of being overturned — a loss of the wonted balance.

Backslanted series now contains two sans serif typefaces (Regular and Super), and a Script. All these typefaces are equipped with math and currency symbols and a number of stylistic alternatives, contextual alternates and ligatures

Backslanted supports Extended Latin, Georgian and Cyrillic.

The series is to be supplemented by other styles like Serif, Geometric Italic and probably other kinds of typefaces drawn with the same tools. While Backslanted Blackletter is already available on Future Fonts.
