February 1, 2024

If you are reading this, you probably call on your inner font-snob from time to time. Fonts have always been an element that is often taken for granted but play a crucial role in communication and how it's received. Certain fonts can influence feelings, trigger emotions, and change behaviour of the audience.

As a font snob, this new series is dedicated to finding fonts across the web that just make you feel some type of way.

Sprat

Sprat is a sharp serif variable font, developed on two axes: width and weight. Inspired by an old lettering from Eric Gill, it features long sharps serifs, high contrast and round curves. Its appearance changes a lot between styles, the thin ones have more of a hard and aggressive look, the blacks are smoother but keep their attitude. Its use is mainly suitable for titling, posters and logos but depending on the weight Sprat could also work in a mid-sized body text.
