Designed by Ale Navarro, LC Merkén is a slab serif font family. This typeface has eighteen styles and was published by Compañía Tipográfica De Chile.
Merkén is a typeface inspired in the Slab Serif fonts designed by Vincent Figgins in the early 20th century: his famous designs; Antique and Egiziano, were the main references when developing this project. The typeface is perfect for headlines, medium length texts, branding and advertising. His original set is strong and spicy but it also has an alternative set which is cursive and kind.
Merkén is composed by 18 styles, 813 glyphs and Small Caps.
Besides, it has powerful OpenType features for each style, including stylistic sets, extended language support, ligatures, contextual alternates, lining figures, oldstyle figures, arrows, circled and black circled numbers, fractions, superscripts, subscripts and many more.
