Author's note

Pigiarniq Heavy, from Tiro Typeworks for the Government of Nunavut, is a free heavy sans serif with a plainspoken, contemporary feel. The letters look broad and calm, with dense strokes, soft round dots, and a single-storey rhythm that keeps the texture open even at this weight.

It works well for civic branding, museum graphics, educational materials, wayfinding, and poster headlines where you want a strong modern voice without slipping into corporate polish. As a free font, it also makes sense for title cards, short cover lines, and identity work, since the sturdy shapes and rounded details give brief words a steady, human presence.
