MegaMegaTypeType
A 1992 display typeface derived from Helvetica Narrow, developed at Double Alex Font Studio by Alexey Gunin and Alexey Chekulaev, available in Regular and Oblique.
About
Based on Max Miedinger's Helvetica Narrow, Bastion Kontrast introduces decorative qualities suited to magazine and editorial contexts. The family is minimal, comprising just two styles, Regular and Oblique. Its origins at the Moscow-based Double Alex Font Studio place it within the Russian type design activity of the early 1990s.
Classification
Derived from Helvetica Narrow, the design introduces decorative contrast or distortion to the base grotesque form, pushing it into display territory. The oblique-only italic and page tags of 'Decorative, Magazine' confirm its display rather than text classification.
