MegaMegaTypeType
A casual calligraphic display face from 2001 with tall ascenders and a moderate x-height, rooted in informal handwriting.
About
Designed by Zakhar Yaschin for ParaType, the face draws from natural, informal handwriting rather than formal penmanship traditions. The proportions are distinctive: ascenders are tall against a moderate x-height, giving text an energetic, upward rhythm. Three styles – Regular, Bold and Dot – provide a limited but focused range for display and advertising use.
Classification
Based on informal handwriting with calligraphic qualities and tall ascenders relative to a moderate x-height, placing it squarely in the casual script category rather than formal calligraphic script.
