Hi danstep.

I have modified a little bit the above Linda styles to make them suit with your oval and squared shapes.

The stroke angles now follow the your custom form, hope you find it useful.

Go to the advanced options :

Stroke options > advanced > Sensitivity tab >
and choose the "Angle" for stroke property option in the combo box.

In that option move the horizontal and vertical values from 0 to 100. Play around with the random and pressure as well in that Angle stroke property. I used random around 30 and pressure at 50... don't know the reason but seems to work better for that stroke in that pressure.

Oh ok, are you creating one from scratch?

I think you need to work with a stroke that support spacing in the advanced options, such as calligraphy , charcoal, crayon...etc, for better results.

Once you selected one of these, go to Stroke options > Advanced and increase the spacing until looks separated.

To adjust the angle, switch to Shape tab in the advanced options and change the aspect to a small value, and the angle in your desired one.

Do this before to apply the Sensitivity changes, it should work.
