PF Marlet Text

Awards

Marlet Text is part of a beautiful and inspiring set of typographic elements based on a minimal and simplistic approach to elegance. Contrary to the other members of the Marlet type system, PF Marlet Text comes with his own unique, subtle, easily applicable, visual voice, becoming an all-purpose, complete typeface to meet the needs, wants and demands of the publishing, branding and advertising industry alike. Originally designed as a single-style font for a Mexican cosmetics institute and its exclusive make-up and skincare line aimed at upper-middle income bracket women, Marlet has progressively bloomed.

Inspiration came from the roaring 20s and 30s, decades that embraced women’s independence both socially and politically. 

Taking intricate hints from the era whilst maintaining approachability, the contemporary dynamic version of this humanist typeface evolved with modulated strokes. Marlet projects elegance and understated luxury, bringing femininity and all its complexities into the limelight, with lean lines concluding to subtle humanist curves which reference simplicity and underline the font’s exquisite quality. Its thick-thin, serifless strokes express the modernity of the fashion industry, breaking away from the monotone sans serif.

A type system with contrast progressing from low (Text version) through medium (Display) to high (Finesse), with differentiated letter widths (Titling), extravagant letterforms (Swash) and finally eclectic patterns (Motifs), Marlet evolved from a single typeface into a comprehensive type system in various weights which support Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

Simple and elegant at the same time and in contrast to ultra-feminine Didot and Bodoni, Marlet is a typeface that is nonconformist, multifaceted, fashionable and romantic, strong and chic, casual yet provocative.
