From the foundry
The Melun family is a geometric sans-serif with retro influences, presented in 3 subfamilies: Melun (Normal, 5 weights + italics), Melun High (semi-display with high x-height, 5 weights + italics), and Melun Display (with much more radical shapes, 6 weights). Built at the crossroads of historical references and contemporary experimentation, it draws inspiration from typographic classics, Barbie doll logos, and Air Jordan sneaker aesthetics. A love letter to the typefaces of the past, with visual ties to Futura and Avant Garde Gothic, and particularly influenced by Rudolf Koch's Kabel.
