An early morning exercise:

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\startTEXpage [offset=1dk]

     \def\MacScale{.7}%
     \def\MacRule {.1}%
     \def\MacKern {0}%

     \protected\def\Mac
       {\dontleavehmode \showglyphs
        \begingroup
        \scratchwidth   \fontcharwd\font`M\relax
        \scratchdistance\MacScale\fontcharwd\font`c\relax
        \scratchoffset  \dimexpr\fontcharht\font`M 
-\MacScale\fontcharht\font`c \relax
        \scratchdepth   \MacRule\exheight
        \kern\scratchwidth
        \vrule
          width  \scratchdistance
          height \dimexpr \scratchoffset- \scratchdepth\relax
          depth  \dimexpr-\scratchoffset+2\scratchdepth\relax
        \relax
        \kern-\dimexpr\scratchwidth+\scratchdistance\relax
        M%
 
\glyphscale\numexpr\numericscale\MacScale*\glyphyscale/\plusthousand\relax
        \glyph
          yoffset \scratchoffset `c
        \kern\MacKern\emwidth
        \endgroup}

     \dostepwiserecurse{5}{8}{1}{
         \def\MacScale{.#1}%
         \Mac Anulty
         \par
     }
     \def\MacScale{.6}
     \def\MacKern {-.1}
     \Mac Anulty
\stopTEXpage

After all, we want to be able to cut'n'paste the name.
