Typeface Design for Marlene Grande
Eight numeral styles per weight, with licensees able to set their preferred default
Marlene Grande is a high-contrast Egyptian display face designed by Nikola Djurek (Latin) and Ilya Ruderman (Cyrillic), with Igino Marini as contributor to both scripts. The roman carries robust square vertical serifs; the italic features sharp thin upstrokes and unusually high curve-to-stem connection points. It is one of three display variants in the Marlene type family, which also includes a sans-serif. Each weight ships with eight numeral styles, with licensees able to set their preferred default variant.
