displayglyphic display
A bold display face by Jack Usine that bridges sans and glyphic serif territory, offering alternate glyphs and ligatures for expressive headline work.
About
Released in 2008 as an improved iteration of the original Megalopolis (2004), this single-style display face sits in an unusual zone between clean sans forms and serif-like incised detailing. A generous set of alternates and ligatures gives it typographic flexibility for headline and display contexts. Named one of Ilovetypography's best fonts of 2008.
Classification
Positioned by the foundry as sitting between sans and glyphic serifs, with a bold display character that resists clean classification into either camp; best described as a glyphic display face.
