Description

Melange Grotesk is the synthesis of 20th-century grotesque type design, blending elements of early, neo-, and geometric approaches to linear letterform design. It is truly modernist at heart, seamlessly merging the early systematic approach proposed by designers like Walter Käch with the optical balance and warmth of the neo-grotesques of the late 50s, represented by typefaces like Helvetica or Univers. Slightly geometric proportions, low contrast, and open terminals result in a smooth texture in paragraphs, while in large sizes, every word becomes a logotype. Melange Grotesk comes in an exceptionally wide range of weights, giving the user a maximum amount of control in choosing the right fit for any environment. Its development started in late 2021 by founder Michael Clasen as a result of a close study of the grotesque heritage.
