The basis of Lowstress Type is that the character crown, instead of being sharp faced, is rounded to give a 'softer' impression into the component being marked. This helps to eliminate any stress concentration at the bottom of the indentation and can be best illustrated thus:

Pryor® Lowstress Interchangeable Steel Type is available in two different character styles
MiniStress™ - round faced, continuous line character		The character appears in reverse to indent a positive readable impression
DotStress™ - round faced, dot formation character
