Author's note

Uqammaq Bold, from Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated and Tiro Typeworks, is a free sans serif with a sturdy, text-oriented voice and a quietly distinctive rhythm. The letters feel broad and grounded, with soft curves, compact joins, and a sharp descending q that gives the font a subtle regional character without turning it into a novelty.

It suits editorial headings, cultural publications, museum graphics, educational materials, and wayfinding where a free font needs warmth rather than slick neutrality. Use it for short titles, cover lines, section openers, or identity work where that firm weight and slightly uncommon letter shaping can carry a name or phrase on their own.
