Mexcellent

Mexcellent channels the kinetic energy of 1968 Mexico City into a bold, contemporary headline font built for maximum visual impact. Inspired by the tri-linear stripe lettering that defined the Games’ legendary design program, it preserves the rhythmic geometry and layered intrigue of the original while opening new possibilities for modern creators.

This is a typeface with built-in flexibility. Its multi-layer system—Regular, 3D, Back, Middle, and Outside—can be combined, recolored, and rearranged to create anything from clean, single-weight headlines to dazzling, multi-hued compositions. Stack the layers for dimensional depth, experiment with contrasting palettes, or keep it minimal for crisp editorial layouts.

Mexcellent’s tall, condensed proportions let it command attention even in tight spaces, making it as effective on stacked festival posters as it is on horizontal banners. Beyond its Olympic heritage, it thrives in retro music branding, travel promotions, boutique packaging, and any project where nostalgia and boldness intersect. With wide Latin-alphabet coverage, Mexcellent brings the same personality and punch to headlines in Barcelona, Bogotá, or Buenos Aires as it does in Boston. It’s a font that crosses borders and cultural contexts with ease, without losing the distinctive stripes that make it unmistakable.

For designers who want a headline treatment that’s both rooted in design history and primed for contemporary play, Mexcellent delivers—layer by layer, stripe by stripe.
