MegaMegaTypeType
A mechanical display typeface inspired by Wim Crouwel's grid-based lettering, blending French and German industrial aesthetics into a blocky, angular design suited to headlines and poster work.
About
Originally released as Alloy and later evolving into YWFT Maetl, the typeface draws on the constructed, modular approach associated with Wim Crouwel's typographic work. Converted to OpenType in 2010, it saw notable use in PlayStation magazine during the early 2000s. Its angular, engine-like character makes it best suited to display contexts where mechanical energy is the intent.
Classification
A constructed, angular display typeface drawing on mechanical and industrial aesthetics in the tradition of Wim Crouwel's grid-based lettering. Its blocky, machine-like forms place it firmly in the geometric techno display category.
