MegaMegaTypeType
A text serif by Cyrus Highsmith and June Shin that fuses oldstyle conventions with rounded triangular stroke endings drawn from Japanese Mincho type, rounded sans serifs and assorted pop-cultural sources.
About
Highsmith describes the distinctive terminals as 'child-safe serifs', a phrase that captures both their softened geometry and the long, eclectic development process behind them. Five weights from Extra Light to Bold each carry a matching italic, and the family covers Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Greek scripts with small caps throughout. The cross-cultural reference points give the face an idiosyncratic warmth that sets it apart from standard oldstyle text revivals.
Classification
An oldstyle text serif distinguished by rounded triangular endings on strokes, drawing from Japanese Mincho type traditions alongside Western oldstyle conventions, resulting in a hybrid that sits firmly in the oldstyle serif category despite its cross-cultural influences.
