MegaMegaTypeType
A heavy, narrow variable typeface by Daria Karpenko that moves along a single distortion axis from clean to rippled, mimicking the look of text seen through disturbed water.
About
Flicker is built around hypertrophied optical compensators at stem joints, giving the letterforms a dense, compact quality that can be set as a solid typographic block. The variable font's distortion axis runs from Regular through to Distorted100, introducing a wave-like ripple that inspired the name. Uppercase and lowercase sit at similar heights, ascenders are emphasised over descenders, and the family includes stylistic alternates, fractions, indexes and case-sensitive punctuation across extended Latin and Cyrillic.
Classification
A heavy, narrow display typeface with exaggerated optical compensators at stem joints and a variable distortion axis that introduces wave-like ripple effects, placing it firmly in the display category rather than any conventional text classification.
