MegaMegaTypeType
An updated version of the 20th-century Schoolbook typeface, redesigned by Alexandra Korolkova with wider, slightly larger letterforms and improved expressiveness for children's books and text-heavy reading.
About
SchoolBook New retains the low contrast and smooth setting texture of its predecessor, qualities that aid legibility for young or less experienced readers. The revision brings slightly larger and wider proportions, keeping the face within recommended size guidelines for textbooks and children's literature. Numbers and lowercase letters receive the most visible refinements, giving the design a more considered and contemporary feel compared to the original.
Classification
A low-contrast text serif with wide, large letterforms designed for readability in children's books and textbooks, updated from a 20th-century schoolbook tradition. The open, smooth setting texture and generous proportions place it firmly in the transitional serif category adapted for educational use.
