MegaMegaTypeType
A digital revival of Zvi Narkiss's 1982 fixed-width sans-serif, originally produced for the Bamberger-Rosenheim word processor and recovered from a single surviving printed catalogue page.
About
The source material was a small-size printed page from a Bamberger-Rosenheim catalogue, where slight pixelation from the printer introduced a degree of randomness that the revival intentionally preserves. The family covers Hebrew and Latin in both monospaced and proportional spacing variants, with seven styles and OpenType features including small caps, old-style figures and a dotted zero to prevent confusion with the letter O. Its retro-computational character is deliberate, evoking early futuristic computer games rather than a neutral coding tool.
Classification
Originally designed as a fixed-width sans-serif for word processors, Narkiss Yair is a monospaced typeface with a geometric, technological character. A proportional spacing variant was later added, but the monospaced form defines the family's identity.
