Author's note

Springsteel Light by Jan Schmoeger of Paragraph is a free light sans serif with hairline strokes, elongated proportions, broad softly drawn curves, and a gentle change in weight along the contours. Its spare forms look airy and distinctly contemporary.

Publishing suits its refined restraint, especially in fashion magazines and gallery programs where the slim lettering can echo clean photography and understated art direction. Beauty packaging and cultural event posters are also plausible, though the font is most convincing as elegant editorial titling.

--

Springsteel is a display sans serif with curved outer lines and only a few straight inner lines. It was spaced and kerned by Igino Marini/iKern.
