DescriptionCreated for issue 16 of FUSE (Genetics), Mega Family 2 is more of a game than a usable typeface. The upper and lowercase keyboard letters are linked to various parts of both a male and a female portrait. By typing, the user can blend that “genetic material” to create a portrait featuring characteristics from both “parents.” The numeric keys are linked to additional content, including phrases and icons. Some combinations will delete or override others, much like dominant and recessive genes. Finally, shift “X” and shift “Y” will produce gendered thumbnail images. The top banner of this poster indicates all possible glyphs within the typeface, while the central image shows a combined portrait.On View
