Melody specimen from Boulevard LAB

A Swiss-influenced geometric sans with a companion monospaced subfamily, available in seven weights across 14 styles and covering an extensive Latin Extended-A character set.

About

Designed by Sam Glen Hughes and developed by Boulevard LAB, BL Melody takes its cues from 1960s Swiss typography while softening the rigidity typical of that tradition with a warmer, more approachable character. Seven weights run from ExtraLight to Bold, each mirrored by a monospaced counterpart, giving the family practical reach across both editorial and coding contexts. OpenType stylistic alternates and broad Latin coverage spanning Western, Central and Southeastern European languages extend its versatility.

Classification

A minimalist geometric sans-serif drawing on Swiss typography of the 1960s, with humanist inflections that give it a friendly character distinct from rigid modernist grotesques.
