LTR Federal Optical Layers

The classic collection of layered shading with different levels of detail. This package consists of four of these optical sizes. Fewer shading lines mean more sturdy shapes that can be used in smaller sizes. More lines create more detail and shading in larger sizes. The names of the sets indicate the number of shading lines on the height of the capital. To reduce the stress of choice, we now include all optical sizes in one package so you can experiment and combine as much as you like.

Please note LTR Federal Optical Layers require LTR Federal Regular.

Please Note: this means you, dear typographer, have to do some work to create the different shading styles. It's not difficult, but you need some sort of layout program that can stack text blocks. Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Indesign are perfect. Below is a list of very nice, printable PDFs with examples and instructions. Building the layers on iPad, for instance in Procreate, or using CSS, is not recommended.
