A newly developed typeface lend an unmistakable personality to the German magazine “Der Spiegel”.
The Spiegel typeface embodies an interesting paradox: the shapes and proportions of an American-style gothic – the ultimate industrial typeface – are combined with the subtle diagonal stress and almost imperceptible traces of handwriting that are typical of most of Luc(as)’ text faces. Although conceived as a headline face, Spiegel is perfectly suited for medium-sized body text: a lucid, unobtrusive face to lend a unique character to brochures and illustrated books. The Condensed version is an elegant, spacing-saving headline font.
