New Spirit
Newlyn · Miles Newlyn
A thorough revival of Windsor (1905) by Miles Newlyn, expanding the original into a full working family of six weights with condensed and compressed cuts.
About
Based on Windsor, originally released by Stephenson, Blake & Co. in 1905, New Spirit retains the typeface's distinctively organic, art nouveau-inflected character while bringing it into practical use across six weights, five italic styles, condensed and compressed subfamilies. The designer describes it as Arcadian, drawing on a sense of the handmade and the natural, balanced against quieter references to traditional oldstyle serifs. It sits well in editorial, food and wine, and cultural branding where warmth and a faint sense of nostalgia are wanted without sentimentality.
Classification
