About Medula One

Medula One is a display typeface of tall, narrow letters with heavy vertical strokes. Its official description calls it a rhythmic sans serif whose strokes end as if made by a brush, and that is what the specimen shows: stems finish in slanted, slightly flared cuts instead of flat ends, and corners are softened. The capital M and N borrow the arched shapes of their lowercase forms, and vertical strokes repeat at close, regular intervals, so a word reads as a row of upright bars. The family has one Regular style, with no italic, and is not a variable font. It holds 230 glyphs, enough for English and Western European languages; only the Latin subset is included. LatinoType is credited, Luciano Vergara is named in the font's name table, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1 with Medula One as a Reserved Font Name.

Where Medula One works

Narrow poster headlines
Tall condensed letters fit a long title into a slim column or a portrait-format poster.
Bottle and jar labels
The economical width places a product name on a narrow label, and the brush-cut ends keep it from looking mechanical.
Magazine section heads
Close vertical rhythm makes one or two capitalised words a dense marker above an article.
Music and festival flyers
Rounded M and N shapes and flared stems give band names an informal, hand-cut look.
