Eccentric was designed in 1881 by Gustav F. Schroeder. The original foundry is unknown; if you have information about this, please send a note to webmaster@adobe.com.

Eccentric is an all-capital, narrow-bodied, monoline display face that could be described as high waisted. With cross-bars and main junctures more than halfway up the letterforms, every letter - except the W - has a long-legged appearance.

Eccentric has a wide range of display uses, from playbills to fashion advertisements.
