MegaMegaTypeType
A two-weight condensed grotesque designed at TypeMarket in 1998, drawing on Adrian Frutiger's Univers for its proportions and even stroke rhythm.
About
Designed by Dmitry Gulinov at TypeMarket in 1998, Unicum Condensed takes Univers as its structural reference, translating the neo-grotesque model into a tightly condensed form offered in Thin and Light weights only. The narrow proportions and minimal stroke contrast make it suited to poster and display use at large sizes. It is published through ParaType as part of the Type Market catalogue.
Classification
A condensed grotesque derived from Univers, with the specimen showing tall, narrow letterforms and consistent stroke weight typical of a neo-grotesque lineage. The very light weights and tight proportions place it firmly in the display grotesque tradition.
