In the specimen the round letters are drawn as tall rectangles with rounded corners, the a and u end in a small spur at the baseline, and the figure 1 is a plain vertical stroke that resembles a capital I. Bold is only a little heavier than Regular, so the two weights stay close in colour. Carolina Trebol designed the family; the official notes present it as a multipurpose face meant to look sharp and technical, for headlines as well as text on websites and in print, and say it grew out of typefaces she drew for her own graphic design projects. Four static files make up the family: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. With 194 glyphs, the character set stays within basic Latin. ## License SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Finnish is covered except for the letter å. - **Reserved Font Name**: The license notice reserves the name Marvel, so a modified version needs a different name unless permission is given. ## FAQs ### Is Marvel free for commercial use?
