MegaMegaTypeType
A transitional serif family of four weights with matching italics, featuring high stroke contrast, sharp serifs and wide upright proportions suited to branding and editorial use.
About
Shallot offers four styles from Regular to Extrabold, each paired with a 12-degree italic with redrawn lowercase letters. The upright cuts carry wide proportions and sharp serifs with curved brackets, while the high stroke contrast lends it presence at display sizes. The family covers 462 glyphs across broad Latin language support and is available as a variable font.
Classification
High stroke contrast, sharp serifs with curved brackets, and redrawn italic lowercase letters place this firmly in the transitional serif tradition. The designer explicitly notes the letterforms are not calligraphic in origin, reinforcing the transitional classification.
