About the family


Ten years ago, Mell Sans began as a simple sketch on a napkin during a rainy afternoon. Its designer, searching for a way to make text feel human without losing clarity, spent years perfecting each curve. Mell’s lowercase "d" was inspired by the graceful shape of a raindrop, while the "g" recalls the loops of an artist’s brushstroke.

Mell Sans has seen the world—it was refined on notebooks during long train rides and tweaked under the flicker of midnight desk lamps. Its forms blend the influence of ancient manuscripts with the clean lines of modern architecture, creating a font that feels alive, yet understated.

The result is a typeface you can trust anywhere, from personal projects to polished publications. Mell Sans carries a story in its bones and invites you to write your own.

About Abuse of Notation

In mathematics and logic, an "abuse of notation" refers to breaking the formal rules in favor of something that just works—and that’s exactly our philosophy in design. We take the beautiful structures of type and give them a playful twist, abusing conventions to create fonts that flirt with chaos while still keeping your designs legible. Whether it’s quirky ligatures, unconventional kerning, or downright bizarre glyph shapes, our fonts redefine what it means to break the rules in style.
