MegaMegaTypeType
A Parisian-designed geometric sans with nine weights, matching oblique italics and an unusually generous set of lowercase alternates for both corporate and editorial use.
About
Designed by Ilya Naumoff, Ekster takes a reductive approach to geometry: bowls meet stems without fuss, the 'u' is symmetrical, and horizontal strokes on letters like 'f' and 't' terminate at the stem rather than crossing it. Strokes are virtually monolinear across all nine weights, from Hairline to Black, each accompanied by an oblique-style italic. The standout feature is a broad library of lowercase alternates, with multiple options for letters such as 'a', 'e' and 'r', giving designers meaningful flexibility within a consistent geometric framework.
Classification
Designed with virtually monolinear strokes and simplified letterforms typical of geometric sans serifs, with a symmetrical 'u' and truncated horizontal strokes that reinforce the reductive, modernist approach.
