Kessel 105 Text Book

Kessel 105 Text Book is a Fontspring demo of the Kessel typeface family — a geometric sans-serif modeled directly after House Industries' Neutraface. The Book weight is the closest free analog to the Neutraface Text Book used on the A Wrinkle in Time (2018) movie poster, with the same balanced proportions, even stroke weight, and clean modernist character that have made Neutraface a go-to choice for film posters including The Shape of Water, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall.

Kessel features the same circular bowls, broad horizontal proportions, and delicate apex points that define Neutraface's elegant geometric construction. The text-optimized version (105) has slightly more aperture and slightly less contrast than display weights, making it readable at smaller sizes while still carrying enough personality for headline use. The Book weight sits between regular and light, giving it a refined, slightly delicate presence that suits literary, sci-fi, and editorial contexts.

This is a Fontspring Demo version with a limited character set, made available as a free OTF download for personal use and font preview. It's the closest free analog available for designers who want to evaluate or recreate the Neutraface aesthetic before licensing the full commercial family.
