MegaMegaTypeType
A geometric sans with grotesque underpinnings, available in nine weights across separate text and display optical sizes, each with a strongly slanted independent italic.
About
Ortank balances geometric purity with lineale grotesque influence, producing letterforms – notably the 'n' and 'u' – that maintain legibility at small sizes without sacrificing character. The display optical size takes a more extreme approach, applying sharp digital geometry that varies uniquely across each weight. The italics are designed as independent cuts rather than slanted derivations, drawing on the historical notion of italic as a distinct voice.
Classification
Ortank is rooted in geometric construction with lineale grotesque influence, combining radically simple circular forms with classical grotesque details. The display optical size embraces extreme sharpness unique to each weight, while the text optical size prioritises legibility in dense setting.
