MegaMegaTypeType
A geometric sans-serif from the early 1970s, revived digitally by its original designer Russell Bean with OpenType features and an extensive kern pair set.
About
Virginia won the inaugural Lettergraphics International Alphabet Design Contest in the early 1970s, distinguished by its stark geometric construction and Bauhaus character. Bean's digital revival adds a handful of new glyphs, OpenType features and a thorough kerning programme, making the design viable at both text sizes and large display settings. Four weights from ExtraLight to Bold complete the family.
Classification
Described explicitly as geometric with Bauhaus influence, designed for both text and display use. The stark simplicity and geometric construction place it firmly in the geometric sans-serif tradition.
