New Spirit Compressed
A compressed cut of Newlyn's Windsor revival, working across five weights with matching italics as part of a broad six-subfamily family.
About
Based on Windsor, released by Stephenson, Blake & Co. in 1905, New Spirit reworks the original across a full range of weights and widths that the source material never had. The Compressed subfamily runs from Light to Bold with italics, sitting alongside standard, Condensed and Italic cuts. Newlyn frame the design as Arcadian, drawing on the organic and pre-industrial warmth of the original while grounding it in a system usable for contemporary editorial and identity work.
Classification
