About

The character set exceeds 1800 glyphs and includes swash capitals, small caps, discretionary ligatures, stylistic alternates, positional numerals and fractions. It is intended for both running text and headline work across editorial, branding and digital contexts.
Classification
Inspired by Times New Roman, BD Megalona is a transitional serif with regularised stroke contrast and upright roman forms matched by true italic companions across 13 weights. The broad weight range and extended character set position it as a text and display workhorse.
