Pelikan Font Family

Pelikan Font Family, is an unpolished sans with a special unicase feature baked inside, which lets you extend all letters—big or small—to the same height. Modernists in the 1920s waged a “fight against capital letters,” writing all their messages strictly in lowercase characters. In the ’70s, the search for an “egalitarian” type treatment continued, leading designers to the short-lived concept of the unicase. Pelikan throws a same height party for the 21st Century with its raw and blunt yet approachable feel. Its unusually large x-height gives it a confident stance and presence.

Pelikan has two unicase features available via Stylistic Sets, letting you jump between the default look and our same height variations. Unicase 1 is uppercase heavy, with only a few lowercase letterforms sprinkled in. This setting feels solid and sturdy in text blocks. Unicase 2, on the other hand, is jumbled and playful, a happy mismatch of uppercase and lowercase forms of the same height.
