The Mell font family

JencelPanic

My first typeface is called Mell Sans and is available from myfonts and from my gumroad shop.

Mell Sans is the first release from the Mell Extended family, which will feature five more families --- Mono, Display, Constrast and Slab.

I've been working on this project for a long time. In fact, I asked for critique on this same forum some 7 years ago. But since then I drifted in many different directions --- I liked the faux-monospaced signage look, I like the humanistic playful look too, I also thought it looked really good in reverse contrast. It seems that only the peculiar raindrop-like shape of b and d remained from that version.

Then an idea came two years ago --- to create not one, but several different families for each look, and bind them all into one extended family.

Then, slightly later, I got another idea --- to merge all these families into one variable font.

These projects are largely a reality now, so I decided to start releasing my work, starting with Mell Sans --- which is a very legible sans-serif font with a distinct look.  I use it on my website and I  frequently get comments on how unique it looks.  And it looks even better in print.

The family is on myfonts and gumroad, on Myfonts there is a promotion, and also some fonts are free.
