MegaMegaTypeType
A bold single-weight display font inspired by American WWII poster lettering, notable for its OpenType variable shadow axis that shifts position in response to the time of day.
About
Gnomon* ships in two versions: a static Foreground cut for standalone use and a variable Simple cut intended to sit beneath it, providing a controllable shadow via Time of Day and Shadow Distance sliders. The time-responsive behaviour is achieved through a JavaScript script that updates font-variation-settings to reflect the user's local hour. Its application is deliberately narrow, suited to retro headlines rather than body text or extended setting.
Classification
A single-weight bold display typeface with no variation in stroke weight or italic, designed purely for headline impact; its defining feature is an OpenType variable shadow axis rather than any traditional typographic classification.
