MegaMegaTypeType
A single-weight display typeface from 2003 with oversized triangular serifs and eccentric letterforms drawn from Halloween card scripts and the visual world of children's fantasy fiction.
About
Designed by Zakhar Yaschin for ParaType, Harry Plotter conceals a classical underlying structure behind giant triangular serifs and extravagant letter shapes. The design draws on Halloween card lettering and the aesthetic of popular fantasy books aimed at younger readers. It is suited to advertising, poster work and display typography where a theatrical, decorated character is required.
Classification
An eccentric display typeface with exaggerated triangular serifs that obscure a classical structure beneath. The theatrical letterforms place it firmly in the decorative display category.
