New Spirit Italic
The italic companion to New Spirit, a thorough revival of Windsor (1905) that runs across five weights from Light to Bold.
About
Derived from Stephenson, Blake & Co.'s Windsor of 1905, New Spirit Italic brings the organic, Arcadian character of the upright revival into a sloped form across five weights. The design sits at an unusual intersection of Art Nouveau looseness and Oldstyle serif structure, giving it a warmth rarely found in revivals of this period. Pairs naturally with the upright, condensed and compressed cuts for editorial, packaging and identity work that wants period romance without pastiche.
Classification
A revival of Windsor (1905), the typeface blends organic Art Nouveau qualities with Oldstyle serif conventions, placing it firmly in the oldstyle serif category with distinctive period character.
