JTD №5: Say hello to Ultramega

The masthead is set in Ultramega and Enfilade Tiny

Our first release from Rachel Kriebel, Ultramega, is finally finished! Rachel started here in 2019 and Ultramega has been cooking in the background the whole time.

Inspired by a Soviet take on Futura and 1970s sci-fi, Ultramega is a geometric sans serif family in 12 styles. Like its inspiration, it leans a little more grotesk than most geometric sans serifs, letting it work in a larger variety of settings.

I’ve always wanted to use this image as a type specimen.

There's much more to see and read about Ultramega over on the website.

Interview

Before we wrapped up Ultramega, Rachel sat down for an interview about her inspiration, type design, and more. You can read all of it over on the website.
