About Armata

Armata is a sans serif with nearly uniform stroke thickness and curves that lean towards the rectangle. In the specimen the bowls of o, c, e and d are flattened at the sides, the lowercase stands tall beside the capitals, and the stroke ends of a, t and y are cut cleanly without flaring. A few letters depart from the expected pattern — the official notes speak of familiar shapes mixed with unfamiliar ones, steadiness set against more delicate gestures — and the same notes say the face can be used across a wide range of sizes. Armata is a single Regular 400 file with no italic or bold, and it is not a variable font. Its 411 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. Viktoriya Grabowska is the designer; the license notice names Sorkin Type Co, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Armata works

Interface text
Even strokes and a tall lowercase keep menus, labels and form fields legible at small sizes.
Technology and engineering sites
The squared curves give copy a technical tone while the letterforms stay those of a text face.
Headings in the same voice as the text
Because Armata holds up across a wide range of sizes, a larger setting of the one style can serve as the heading.
Central European languages
The Latin Extended set includes the letters for Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Turkish.
