MegaMegaTypeType
A single-weight display blackletter drawing from heavy metal typography and medieval textura, originally created for the art project Hungry Book in 2017.
About
Designed by Anna Seslavinskaya, HealthGoth carries the angular energy of old-school metal lettering tempered with references to medieval textura. Its defining feature is a set of diagonal thin strokes that give the face an idiosyncratic quality absent from more orthodox blackletters. Intended for headlines, extreme brand identities and entertainment contexts such as film, music and video games.
Classification
A contemporary blackletter display face that blends heavy metal typography with medieval textura influences. Diagonal thin strokes and gothic angularity place it firmly in the blackletter category, though its application is decidedly modern display rather than historical.
