“It is the most discussed and imitated font in the international graphic field. It opened new avenues in the simplification of the future alphabetic sign. Some letters, despite being halved, are very legible in the graphic context. It was created to compose not only imaginative phrases but also: trademarks, acronyms, signs, insignia.” —Aldo Novarese

For this new digital version of Stop for R41, it was important to draw inspiration from the dry transfer type they originally manufactured. This new version of Stop is based on the films prepared for R41’s version, but then given many more characters that extend the concept, including a wide variety of accented characters, symbols, and letters for the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets. R41 Stop is also filled with OpenType-enabled alternates for many of its letters, based on adaptations made over the years by designers and signmakers worldwide.
