Pelikan is a neo-grotesque typeface developed by Dinamo that features a distinctive unicase system, aligning all letters to the same height. Inspired by early 20th-century modernist ideals and 1970s egalitarian typography experiments, it combines a raw, confident character with a friendly and approachable tone for contemporary use.
