Mega
From rectangular to rounded counters across nine weights
Mega is a neo-grotesque display family designed by Matthieu Salvaggio and Malo Haffreingue at Blaze, released in 2023. Its nine weights run from Nano (Ultra Condensed, rectangular counters) to Tera (Ultra Black Extended, rounded counters), and it targets large-format uses such as posters, banners, and headlines. Letterform shapes draw on the tradition of wooden display typefaces associated with historic poster printing.
