Old Republic Italic

Old Republic Italic, ShyWedge’s free italic geometric sans from 1999, leans hard into a sleek late-20th-century tech mood. The letters are drawn with smooth monoline strokes, broad curves, and a strong forward pitch, while the squared, open forms keep the alphabet feeling streamlined rather than soft.

That makes it a natural fit for electronic music flyers, sci-fi cover lines, software branding, title cards, and short magazine headers where a free font can carry motion without turning flashy. It also works well for logos and monograms, because the slanted rhythm and rounded geometry give even a few letters a clean, fast silhouette.
