Armata, designed by Viktoriya Grabowska of Sorkin Type Co, is a free narrow sans serif with an upright, economical build. Its strokes are mostly even, with subtly softened joins and open interior spaces. The lettering feels orderly rather than rigid.
Designers in contemporary culture can use it for posters, exhibition graphics, and magazine covers. Its compact proportions also suit transit signage and information panels. Broad curves and clipped diagonal forms give these settings a distinctly engineered accent.
