Mandelia

Mandelia was created by Alex Kaczun, an American type designer, in 2010. The typeface was named in honor of Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, for his “shining example of the incredible strength of the human spirit to persevere in the face of adversity for the pursuit of freedom”.

Mandelia is a strong, bold and wide-bodied serif typeface design, reminiscent of the great African landscape with it’s diverse animal life. It’s easy to see the influence of the “Rhino’ sharp serifs and ‘Elephant’ size stems and proportions. The font commands attention and respect. Great for headlines that pack a punch—logos, posters, sinage and because it was well designed can even be used in body copy at various point sizes.

Mandelia is available in Opentype format for both Mac and PC, and comes complete with true drawn small caps, old style figures and Unicode Latin 1252 and Central European 1250 character sets. It has everything you need to get the job done.
