Author's note
Mels is a portmanteau name, a contraction of "Mental Health." Designed at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, this character family aims to be human and benevolent, ideal for announcing good news in these uncertain times. Inspired by pictogram systems, its design is sans-serif and with a rigorous geometry, which nevertheless possesses its own inconsistencies that echo the individuality within the system. In fact, this design incoherence allows for the creation of playful characters, readable in small sizes but that will captivate the viewer if used in headings. The letter terminations are raw. Not aligned with the baseline or x-height, they follow the line drawn by the stem. Finally, Mels aims to be accessible thanks to a simple design that is easy to decipher, even for people with visual impairments, and because it supports a large number of languages.
