Revecon

Revecon is a new sans-serif typeface family from Ingrimayne Type now available on myfonts.com. It is a bit unusual because it has reverse contrast (sometimes called inverse contrast), that is, the letters are thick where normally they are thin and vice versa. Serif fonts with reverse contrast were popular in the 19th century for advertising and display purposes. As a result these fonts have an old-fashioned or wild-west look. San-serif fonts with reverse contrast have an uncommon look that is quirky and modernistic. Revecon is legible but seems inappropriate for lengthy text. It can be useful for display purposes such as advertising and similar uses where one wants something simple but a bit unusual and odd.

The Revecon family has three weights with nine styles. Included are three backslanted styles, adding a bit more quirkiness to an already strange family.
