One day in his sketchbook Cyrus Highsmith began hacking the serifs off his Dispatch characters, and liked this rough start.

Like any good sans, Stainless depends upon much more than amputation. Lower contrast ratios, completely rethought spacing, and shapes reworked to occupy missing serif space led to a sanserif partner for Dispatch, and an interesting sanserif series on its own feet.

Among other uses, Stainless is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.
