MegaMegaTypeType
A display face drawn by Miguel Reyes for a 2014 Bon Appétit feature, tracing its letterforms back to hand-lettered titles from a 1970s Royal Ascot television broadcast.
About
Originally commissioned for a package of party stories in a 2014 issue of Bon Appétit, the typeface takes its visual cues from lettered titling seen during televised Royal Ascot coverage in the 1970s. It sits in Commercial Type's Vault alongside other unreleased or archival work, with the caveat that character sets may be limited. Its narrow editorial origin makes it best suited to short-run display and headline use.
Classification
A display typeface derived from hand-lettered titling found in 1970s Royal Ascot horse racing broadcasts, placing it firmly in the display category with a lettered, decorative character.
