An all-caps condensed sans by Matt Willey, featuring monolinear strokes and rounded terminals, released as part of the BuyFontsSaveLives charity initiative.
About
Designed by Matt Willey and donated to the BuyFontsSaveLives charity collection, all proceeds go to Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support. The two-weight family, Regular and Bold, uses condensed letterforms with monolinear strokes and overtly rounded terminals, giving it a distinctive display character. Version 2.0 was released in late 2020 following Willey's appointment as a partner at Pentagram New York.
Classification
An all-caps condensed sans with monolinear strokes and rounded terminals, designed for display use. The overtly stylised terminals and condensed proportions place it firmly in the display category rather than general-purpose sans.
