The Semi-condensed version has many flaws that need to be corrected before it will be ready for prime time, so I will pull it from release until some time in the future.
I was thinking FontLab would produce a true italic, but as Gary said it would be simply a slanted version of the existing fonts so we can scratch that off our list.
The attached zip file from Gary has the best three versions that are ready for release. Would one of the moderators please delete the previous zip file?

OK. I tried several sans faces and the results are as shown in the image below. In the image, I simply used the last font I compared which is Helvetica Condensed.
I think a simple skew of 12° is fine. The horizontals remain perpendicular to the baseline. In the end, though, this is something that a designer can do easily enough. As Gary mentioned, this font isn't going to be used for body copy which would make an oblique version a nicety.
Take care, Mike
I think the Capital L still looks like a G.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Bill, I worked on a truncated version that would still be aligned with the elements in other characters.
Obeying the Too Many Cooks Law, I'm posting the character and not reworking the font itself.

P.S. If members go to Advanced settings before you post, you can change the subject. I thought I was being a Good Boy when the subject changes slightly within this thread.
Gare it looks like you pulled back the overhang on the L a little and that helps. Or maybe the G and L being side beside makes it look better, I don't know. Whatever the reason thank you. Could be the overhang on that L will always bother me. Ah well.

Ok I have removed all versions of the fonts prior to the last one Bill posted. Thank you Bill and Gary for doing your best to keep the number of unique versions down. I'm going to have a look at the fonts and play(err..test )
So when we have tested and everyone agrees the fonts are ready, we will need changelog files for each one. Do we need a pdf guide for each one? might be an idea as unless I am mistaken we decided to release them separately as well as together as a family pak.
