MegaMegaTypeType
A Bodoni-derived display face stripped of all curves and diagonals, producing a rectilinear, pixel-like aesthetic optimised for inkjet printing without quality loss.
About
Designed in 2004 with a purely practical constraint — eliminating curves and diagonals to preserve fidelity on inkjet printers — ModernModern takes the high-contrast modern style of Bodoni and Didot as its structural model. The result is a typeface composed entirely of 90-degree angles, giving it a geometric, almost pixelated character that sits somewhere between historical revival and lo-fi digital novelty. Its unusual construction makes it more suited to display and headline use than extended text setting.
Classification
A display face derived from the modern/Didone tradition of Bodoni and Didot, but stripped entirely of curves and diagonals to produce a rectilinear, pixelated aesthetic. Its 90-degree construction places it firmly in the display category rather than a conventional Didone revival.
