From Meret to Meret Pro, introducing the evolution of a typeface

Meret is a winner of the Letter.2 type design competition organized by the Association Typographique Internationale in 2011, was one of Typographica’s Notable Releases in 2011, and won a Commarts Excellence Award in 2012.

Now the typeface is rolling up its sleeves with the launch of Meret Pro. “A straightforward typeface for newspapers and so much more” claims TypeMates of its latest release. “Meret Pro is at once hardy and refined. Its wide range of eight weights include four geared for text (light, regular, book, medium) and give enough variety for complex editorial typography.

Vivid display styles and unpretentious italics give the typeface the flexibility for serious and modern typography that demands frankness. Meret’s almost serif-less figures come in five styles, each with matching tabulars.

For tiny text sizes, the default figures are drawn slightly taller than the x-height; making them strong enough for tricky conditions and unobtrusive enough that they do not distract” notes Nils Thomsen.
