Mercado was designed by Matthew Desmond and published by MADType. Mercado contains 9 styles and family package options.
Mercado is a versatile stencil font family with 3 styles and 3 weights of each style.
I was inspired by local boutique supermarkets to create a stencil font family with both upper and lowercase as well as a large international characterset.
Mercado Regular can be used at small point sizes without the stencil gaps filling in. It also makes a bold statement when used large. Mercado Display with it’s precision slices is best used large, or in any design solution where the tight gaps will not become filled in. Mercado Sans is a quirky and strong sans serif based on the bones of the stencil version.
