A bold, compressed, caps-only headline face by Matt Willey, originally drawn for Jazz FM and later reworked for the New York Times Magazine's 'Walking New York' issue in 2015.
About
Designed by Matt Willey with assistance from Henrik Kubel of A2-Type, this single-weight compressed face was built for stark, high-impact editorial layouts. Its angular, muscular letterforms are suited to large-scale headline work and were notably used across black-and-white spreads in the New York Times Magazine. Version 2.0 was released in 2020, and sales of the font contribute to Cancer Research and Macmillan Cancer Support through the BuyFontsSaveLives campaign.
Classification
A bold, caps-only compressed headline face with angular letterforms, designed explicitly for large-scale editorial use; its single weight and display-only intent place it firmly in the display category.
