Metallika TM
6TM Magazine · Type Mania · 2024
A single-weight grunge script from Type Mania with automatic stylistic alternation, built squarely for album covers, posters and metal-adjacent graphic work.
About
Metallika TM is a rugged, distressed script drawing on punk and heavy metal lettering traditions. It ships with 388 glyphs – diacritics, ligatures and alternates included – and uses OpenType programming to automatically swap between two stylistic sets when the same letter appears consecutively, creating irregular, handmade-feeling text. Best used as a headline or logotype element in music, zine and merchandise design where the rough aesthetic is the brief.
Classification
Single-weight metal-inflected script with OpenType automatic stylistic alternation between two sets; distressed, punk-derived letterforms; 388 glyphs covering Basic Latin, Western European, Central European and Pan African Latin ranges. Creative Market lists it explicitly as a script font; the 6TM shop describes it as a dark experimental display typeface.
