Milla
Milla is composed of classical letterforms, blended with personal and thoroughly considered details intrinsic to handwriting, letter-pressed type and botanical characteristics. Trapped in it lots of things that inspire and move me.
It is made to be legible for large and small type sizes, lines and reading text as well as timeless and rich use cases. It emphasises a strong, functional glyph set that covers the major Latin languages and features a set of succinct ligatures.
Released: September 2024; Production support: Proof of Words
