Author's note

Lignum Melle, designed by Igor Berck Rodrigues of PYRS Fontlab Ltd., is a free high-contrast sans serif with an elegant display cut. Its tall letters look crisp and distinctly architectural.

Photography with clean lines and broad areas of light echoes the font's slim verticals and sweeping curves, making it suitable for fashion editorials and gallery posters. The same refined proportions suit cosmetics packaging and cultural event programs, especially when the lettering becomes part of a restrained graphic motif. Fashion publishing is its most convincing setting because the dramatic stroke changes have real editorial authority.

The font is called Lignum Melle. It was made for a college project.
