Megavolt is a broad sans serif with absolutely no curves.
Instead, the typeface relies on an intricate network of
trapezoids and 54° angles to communicate forcefulness,
intensity, and motion. After beginning the typeface as
a formal geometric exercise, it soon dawned on me that I
needed to lean in to its sci-fi and metal connotations.
The result is letterforms so severe and uncompromising
that they challenge legibility, not to mention good taste! 🤘
