MegaMegaTypeType
A speculative take on the Venetian old style, imagining how Roman type might have developed had the vestigial serifs of the 1468 Sweynheym and Pannartz types never been fully resolved.
About
Paradigm Pro treats the transitional moment in 1468 Roman typography as a design premise rather than a historical footnote, retaining low contrast and minimal serifs in a form that challenges the serifed convention dominant for the following three and a half centuries. Seven styles span Light through Extra Bold, each with an italic companion. The result sits deliberately between familiar and unfamiliar, unsettling assumptions about typographic authenticity.
Classification
Conceived as a speculative Venetian old style with low stroke contrast and vestigial serifs, the face imagines an alternate historical path between the first Roman types of 1468 and the fully serifed tradition that followed.
