Collection: Springer

Springer is an almost monolinear, capitals-only family. The small serifs are reminiscent of Frederic Goudy’s Copperplate Gothic (1903), which managed to add serifs to almost every possible corner, and in its original wider version became the de facto typeface for formal business cards and stationery. The G has no horizontal bar, following the example of Gravesend and the classic Singer sewing machine logo. The stroke terminals are cut vertically or horizontally, and the numbers are slightly condensed. An alternative E, a G with a bar, a Q with a cursive tail, a 1 with a top ‘flick’ and two manicules are also included. Springer comports itself with an honest British elegance, while being readable even at very small sizes.
