MegaMegaTypeType
A closed mechanical grotesque designed as a corrective to the distortions inflicted on narrow fonts by forced scaling, offering 15 static styles and a variable font across contrast and width axes.
About
Archaism departs from a narrow base and works outward through five widths and three contrast levels, rejecting the arbitrary stretching common in print layout. Its 15 static styles are complemented by a variable font with dedicated contrast and weight axes, giving precise control over proportion without sacrificing structural integrity. Cyrillic localisation is included via OpenType features, alongside stylistic alternates and standard ligatures.
Classification
A closed mechanical grotesque built on a narrow base, with geometric, even strokes and no humanist influence. The family is structured around contrast and width axes rather than conventional weight naming, placing it firmly in the mechanical grotesque tradition.
