Armitage Sans
A humanist sans for synthetic worlds.
Armitage is a contemporary sans serif built for clarity in complex systems — a typeface shaped by grids, terminals, and the quiet human hand guiding them. It balances precision with warmth, offering a clean, confident voice for interfaces, editorial work, and speculative futures alike.
It draws from the imagined interfaces of Neuromancer, the quiet logic of command lines, and the belief that even the most technical systems should feel humane. Designed for reading, thinking, and building, Armitage is less about spectacle and more about presence: a typeface that stays sharp, calm, and legible while the world around it accelerates.
Armitage was born somewhere between console terminals and blank concrete walls — inspired by Cyber Noir novels, Command Line Interfaces and modernist minimalism.
Careful attention has been given to diacritics, anchors, and combining marks to ensure reliability in multilingual and technical use cases. Armitage includes extensive Latin language support (Western, Central, South-Eastern European, Pan-African, Oceanian, Sámi, Esperanto, and IPA).
Accents and Diacritics are constructed as consistent components with controlled vertical positioning. Combining marks are aligned to avoid collisions and maintain rhythm across extended Latin usage.
Built in Glyphs 3, Armitage is a fully self-authored typographic system, with every glyph, spacing decision, and feature drawn and defined by hand. It is designed for consistent readability at both small and large sizes, maintaining technical correctness and reliable behaviour across print and screen.
