Author's note

Skeirs by Robert Pfeffer is a free modern sans serif with an elegant, pared-back profile. Smooth curves and noticeable changes in stroke width give the lettering a graceful sweep, with crisp angled cuts keeping the shapes contemporary.

Fashion branding and arts publishing both suit its mix of refinement and directness, especially for names and prominent cover lines. Its clean silhouette also suits gallery posters. Beauty packaging offers another fitting context, since the broad curves can function almost like a drawn ribbon and connect the lettering to flowing product graphics.
