Meloche is a French grotesque typeface with a quiet elegance—born from the lettering traditions of late 19th-century Paris but crafted for modern versatility. Its subtle stroke modulation, inherited from serif ancestors, gives each character a warmth and sophistication rarely found in sans-serifs. Closed curves and angled stroke ends add a gentle softness, making it equally at home in refined headlines and approachable body text.
With seven weights and matching obliques, Meloche adapts seamlessly from delicate editorial work to bold display typography. Its twenty weight-matched fleur-de-lis ornaments—accessible instantly via shortcodes like [fleur1]—let you add heritage flourishes without leaving your text frame. No extra files, no searching through glyph palettes—just type and they appear. Meloche speaks fluently across borders, covering Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets along with Vietnamese, making it a reliable choice for multilingual projects. Whether you’re designing boutique packaging, crafting an exhibition identity, or creating a literary cover that calls for Parisian grace, Meloche brings a balance of history, charm, and functionality.
From the romance of Belle Époque signage to today’s branding and publishing needs, Meloche offers a timeless voice—grounded in tradition, ready for the present.
