MegaMegaTypeType
A modernised digital revival of Journal Sans, the geometric Cyrillic sans-serif associated with the Soviet-era 'Science and Life' magazine, expanded with Greek support and mathematical symbols.
About
Drawing on the weight and proportions of Journal Sans as it appeared in Soviet linotype catalogues, this 2019 update preserves the original's geometric character while adding Cyrillic alternate glyphs, Greek language support and a supplementary set of mathematical symbols. Four weights with matching italics give the family enough range for editorial and body text work. The connection to a specific 1960s publication gives it a distinct cultural context rarely found in contemporary sans-serif releases.
