Diagonal Text Overview
Give words a sense of motion by slanting each glyph with a diagonal cue so lines feel like they’re climbing: ╱t ╱e ╱x ╱t. Simple slope symbols (╱ ╲) hint at direction without images.
Give a line a climbing, kinetic feel—prefix each character with a light diagonal stroke so the word reads like it’s ascending: diagonal → ╱d╱i╱a╱g╱o╱n╱a╱l, text → ╱t╱e╱x╱t, 2025 → ╱2╱0╱2╱5.
Diagonal — add a subtle slope with slant markers
The mapping places ╱ in front of every supported letter and digit (pattern: ╱x). For a falling slope, swap the character to ╲ on selected letters (╲x) to nudge direction without changing the base glyphs.
Use for
- Step labels, “next” cues, and compact CTAs that benefit from forward motion.
- Short headers, playlist chips, or collection tags with a lean, active tone.
- Dates and counters—digits carry the same diagonal lead-in.
How to shape it
- Keep phrases brief (1–6 words) so the slant rhythm stays clean.
- Mix a few
╲strokes for a downhill beat if you want contrast. - Pair with normal copy around it to maintain clear hierarchy.
Craft notes
- Spaces remain spaces; punctuation passes through as typed.
- On some platforms the diagonal’s weight varies slightly—preview tight all-caps lockups.
- Best used as an accent—long diagonal chains can feel busy in paragraphs.
