Maternidad ML is a font created from letterforms found in the anarcho-feminist Spanish Civil War era publication Mujeres Libres (associated with the anarcho-feminist organization Mujeres Libres). Produced in Barcelona, Mujeres Libres was aimed at the organization’s base–revolutionary working class women.
It was used as a headline for an interview with the director of a maternity ward and covers the scientific and revolutionary innovations in her work there. These are gorgeous letters consisting of a basic sans serif skeleton with large shadows, but the ‘a’ and the ‘i’ with their big black circles break the font’s internal logic and really elevate the whole set of letters into something very cool.
