Sprat Specimen is a type specimen designed for a type family with no fewer than 12 styles, including italic or oblique versions. The goal was to create a cohesive representation of the family’s range and versatility.

Sprat typeface, designed by Ethan Nakache for Collletttivo, is a reinterpretation of lettering by Eric Gill, which the type designer has adapted to the graphic style of the 1970s and 80s. The concept is to capture that aesthetic and apply it to the design and production of the editorial piece, reflecting the distinct character of the era.

The specimen is produced in a vertical format measuring 148.5x420mm. It is printed in a single ink using risograph, on 80gsm Cyclus Offset paper, ensuring both an eco-friendly and visually striking result.
