About
Mina is a connected calligraphic script designed by Giuseppe Salerno and Paco González, released in 2013. It draws on Mediterranean lettering traditions, with flowing elastic connections between letters and clean thin strokes that hold up across a broad weight range from Thin to Super. With 515 glyphs and extensive OpenType features – swashes, ligatures, alternates, initial and final forms – it suits logotypes, editorial titles and boutique branding but has limited utility in body text or neutral UI work.
Classification
Connected calligraphic script with variable stroke weight and long elastic letter connections. Inspired by 1950s Mediterranean lettering tradition. Inherently slanted by nature – no separate roman/italic distinction. Multiple subfamilies extend the system into decorative and shadow territory.
