Megamendung font by Sherleen Christie Soetanto is a free cultural and ornate type of typeface suitable for adding an elegant, artistic, and atmospheric touch to designs. The font draws inspiration from the fine, delicate styles of motifs you find in the Indonesian batik pattern and the Chinese cloud valance. Combining a solid foundation with ornamental edges that focus on one direction and connect the borders of the glyphs with each other, it also is decorated with elegant cuts placed smartly in some intersections. And since these ornaments appear on the outside of each character, designers can easily appreciate their role within the characters.
A font like Megamendung is not a type of font that’s used so often, which makes it highly valuable when it’s actually reasonable for a design. With the perfect use, it adds an artistic and professional touch, and it brings out the design instantly. Use it for personal packaging projects, posters and cover designs, branding designs, literature covers, or cultural event designs. It can further be used for typography artwork for online or printed platforms. But because this font was designed to carry a rich culture, dropping it randomly into your project is not recommended.
The font is free for personal use, which means it can't be used in commercial projects. However, it is still accessible after purchase or donation is made to the author.
This typeface is an adaptation from the Batik Megamendung design of Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. It is intended for personal use only.
