    I really can't think of any pseudocylindrical projection which would give this property or any reason you would make a projection that would have it except to get this very specific property, which really serves no purpose. You would need something like Mollweide, but "more so"; going beyond being equivalent to actually causing areas to decrease the further you get from the equator. There's just no reason to do that.

    I think you've confused different maps with each other or otherwise misremembered them, or you've seem pictures that weren't real maps and didn't make sense.
