Spirits Typeface: A Contemporary Classic Rooted in History
Spirits takes inspiration from Hermann Ihlenburg’s Schoeffer Old Style, originally featured in the 1912 ATF catalog. The Soft style closely matches the qualities of the printed original, offering warmth and subtle character for display settings. The Neutral style refines the design with formal serifs, making it well-suited to editorial layouts where clarity and structure are essential.
