Hi everyone,
in the November 10th (2017) newsletter of
myfonts.com I discovered in the "hot new font section" a font called Merlod. I had the feeling, in a way that it is quite similar to a font I have designed back in 2013 called Mozsár. It was never made ready to sell until recently, but I have put it out on my Behance site and my website some years ago.
Do you think this
Merlod font is really similar to
Mozsár? I have the feeling yes, although not exactly the same, because the shapes are a bit more rounded, and it has many different weights too, but the spacing logic and the idea, the way the diacritics are quite close to mine. On the other hand, there so many other features which are different.
So I’d like to know am I overreacting, or it is indeed a bit too close to my work?
My basic problem with this issue is that lately I have finished and completed the glyphset of Mozsár font in order to to sell it. But since that other font came out, it could harm my business chances. I will try it out of course.
I would really apreciate any feedback on the situation. Also, if you had any similar experience, could you tell me how did it go? Should I contact
myfonts.com or the studio that produced this?
Thanks, all my best!

Being broadly vaguely similar is neither a crime nor any form of infringement... but these typefaces aren’t even that!
