About
Marmelad is designed specifically for medium to large-size headlines and remains well-balanced for long text setting because of its regular proportions and medium contrast. Ascenders and descenders are elegant and details refined. The name and overall feel refers to marmalade sweets - soft and ductile.
All vertical strokes are rounded towards the baseline, which is why technically there is no sense for overshoots in rounded letters like O. Marmelad performs well on screen because of its soft rounded features and generous x-height.
The font supports Latin and Cyrillic. In 2022, the kerning is improved and the Latin language coverage expanded.

Designers
2Cyreal is a foundry deeply rooted in the open-source movement. Founded in 2010, the collective has expanded popular typefaces like Nunito, Rubik, and Raleway with Cyrillic support, among other works. Its original releases, including Lora, Prata, and Alice, have become a quiet staple in digital and print design, widely appearing across websites, apps, and editorial layouts.
