About Mela Font Family


Mela Font: A Fusion of Urban Graffiti and Stylish Calligraphy

Mela font is the embodiment of a creative fusion, born from the strokes of a pointed brush dipped in walnut ink. Conceived originally as a nod to urban graffiti culture, Mela evolved into something more refined and sophisticated, blending the raw energy of thick brushstrokes with an unexpected elegance.

Crafted with a bold yet delicate touch, Mela font strikes a unique balance between lightness and boldness. Its letters bear the imprint of a slightly slanted angle, marked by sharp, deliberate strokes that mimic the characteristics of a fat-tipped marker. This handmade typeface exudes a sense of spontaneity and urban flair, while simultaneously embracing the timeless beauty of calligraphic forms.

The distinct contrast within Mela font allows it to seamlessly marry the fluidity of calligraphic shapes with the contemporary edge of urban aesthetics. Its presence evokes a carefree, modern sensibility, adding a fresh and vibrant dimension to any design project. Whether used in magazines, packaging, advertising, branding, posters, editorials, or digital media, Mela font infuses a touch of human warmth and authenticity into every composition.

One of the standout features of Mela Pro is its extensive character set, boasting 473 glyphs that include alternates, ligatures, icons, ornaments, and more. This versatility opens up a world of possibilities for customization, allowing designers to tailor Mela to their specific creative vision. Meanwhile, Mela Regular offers a more streamlined selection, focusing primarily on letters, figures, and punctuation.

Ideal for headlines and short texts, Mela font effortlessly commands attention and adds a distinct personality to any project. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from traditional print media to digital platforms, including magazines, packaging, advertising, branding, posters, editorials, TV, movies, and websites.

In essence, Mela font is more than just a typeface—it's a versatile tool that empowers designers to infuse their work with the unmistakable charm and warmth of beautifully handwritten letters. With its seamless blend of urban edge and refined elegance, Mela font invites creativity to flourish and imagination to soar.
