The Medley adventure started during an exploration of the Toulouse Scriptorium online archives. One piece struck us for its elegant, almost decorative, strokes. However, the typeface then became a true ‘medley’, drawing influence from Uncial, Carolingian minuscule, and a more traditional approach of brush lettering. While some letters may have taken an eccentric direction, we decided to ground the overall style in something more familiar. The contradictory style of this type family comes from a desire to resurrect historical shapes, while avoiding any that are too ‘rigid’ and inflexible. Medley has evolved in two directions, paying heed to the relative demands of different optical sizes. On one side of the family we have a highly contrasted set of fonts which embrace the most radical shapes in a sharp and staccato rhythm. On the other side, we designed a strongly legible set, providing a more versatile and accessible version of Medley’s visual identity without losing its essence. For example, the ‘e’ (One of Medley’s signature shapes) maintains its structure, but blends into the overall group, increasing readability.
