Megabase is a display gothic with strong horizontal stress
inspired by the clunkiness of 19th-century gothics like Gothic
Bold and the space-age funkiness of 1970s designs such as
Aldo Novarese’s Sintex and Bob Newman’s Zipper. Megabase
goes beyond its forebears in emphasizing its horizontality;
while most typefaces strive for an even typographic color,
Megabase embraces its unevenness, allowing topheavy,
bottomheavy, and diagonal forms to stick out like sore thumbs.
The typeface offers several variants of especially disruptive
letters, allowing the designer to calibrate these interruptions.
