Marvadesign works display and serif with an Italian flavour. Casale Del Natura suggests a rural estate label, Molimer a sharper commercial cut, and the 13 releases favour warm colour-ready lettering for food and hospitality brands.
Before you buy from this studio
Hospitality lettering is read at a distance. Check the counters at the size of a menu header rather than at poster size.
Substantial serif capitals with pointed triangular serifs and a small slanted companion
Casale Del Natura is a substantial editorial serif in which the capitals stand broad, the serifs finish in points and a much smaller slanted word sits beside the main title, so a cover reads as a travel or architecture monograph.
Ideas for this font
Elegant serif with oblique styles
Molimer is an elegant serif in cream over a meadow photograph: moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, a large x-height and an oval O, offered in eighteen styles including an oblique, so the word reads as an editorial heading that could carry a whole issue.

Elegant serif family spanning light to fat with a soft italic
Chelory is an elegant serif family that runs from a soft light to a fat display cut, in which the bowls stay wide and the italic leans with a calligraphic swing, so one purchase covers a headline and a deck.
Ideas for this font
Heavy compact retro sans
Sink is a heavy compact sans in chrome yellow on a red field: fat capitals with softened corners, a sharply opened K junction and tight spacing, set as one large word with a circled mark at the shoulder and two plain lines above and beneath.
Ideas for this font
Tall blade-like capitals with broad upper horns
Banas is a gothic display face whose spurs are drawn as curling flames: each stem throws out two or three tongues of fire, and the whole word is built symmetrically around its centre.

Retro fat display sans with blobby bowls and tight spacing
Bisre is a retro fat display sans in which the bowls swell into blobs, the counters close to slots and the letters jostle each other, so a short word reads as a hand-painted 1970s sign.
Ideas for this font
Heavy rounded lowercase with a sweeping c foot and closely joined double-t crossbars
Cottem sets a bold grotesque in lowercase, then lets the c break out of the line and sweep under the whole word as a flat curved tail, which turns a plain sans into a mark.
Ideas for this font
Neutral sans family with variable weights
Neue Celso is a neutral sans family shown in pale cream on charcoal: a title line in mixed case with open e bowls, a subtitle in a lighter cut, and above and below it two rows of A samples that step through the weights, with small notes in the corners that state the count, the styles and the glyph set.
Ideas for this font
Clipped-corner block display
Remidle is a tall block display in cream on navy: capitals with clipped corners, small vertical slot counters, an even heavy stroke and squared terminals, set as one word across the full width with a small line above and three credits spread along the foot.
Ideas for this font
Heavy condensed display serif
Times Avental is a heavy condensed display serif in cream on a bright red ground: mixed case with pinched joins, broad rounded terminals and short bracketed serifs, set as one large line with a small badge above and two tracked lines beneath.
Ideas for this font
Fine contrast capitals and rounded lowercase with an extended sweeping R leg
Aura Bella draws an extremely light display sans, its strokes reduced to hairlines with a few heavy flares, its capitals tall, wide-spaced and set over a dark photograph.
Ideas for this font
Chunky display sans with cut details
Lemota is a chunky display in yellow on royal blue: near-solid caps and lower case, counters reduced to small slits and circles, a slot cut into the e, and a flat-topped a, all set with tight tracking so the word reads as a slab of colour.
