MegaTech magazine, issue 1
Front cover, showing Modula Serif, Oakland 6 (now called Lo-Res 9 Wide Alternate), and Memphis.
MegaTech was a UK video game magazine dedicated to the Sega Mega Drive (“Sega Genesis” in North America), which was published from December 1991 to July 1995. The first issue was edited by Paul Glancey, with Jeff Zie as art editor. Glancey and Zie had previously produced The Complete Guide to Mega Drive.
The logo uses Modula Serif, which is also used elsewhere on the cover and for some of the interior text. (This logo was retained until issue 17, when a new logo was adopted.) Oakland and Oblong also form part of the magazine’s identity. All three of these fonts were designed by Zuzana Licko.
Text fonts include Memphis, Helvetica, ITC Kabel, and Century Expanded. An unidentified Japanese font is used on the cover for the word メガテケ (Megateke).
