Mentone is a new general purpose typeface, an attempt at extending the line of the great sans-serifs of the previous century, Frutiger - Stone Sans - Myriad. The font has round corners and subtle chamfers, which are all but invisible at text sizes, but add an upbeat, irreverent expression at display sizes. The typeface is named after the beautiful bayside suburb of Melbourne, Australia, where the designer lived. That suburb is in turn named after Menton (Mentone in Italian), a town famous for its gardens on the French Riviera close to the Italian border.
Paragraph is based in Australia and was founded by Jan Schmoeger and Friedo Ligthart. They focus on illustration, corporate identity, and font design.
