Ultimatum

A hot-off-the-press 2021 production intended as a caps-only typeface based around the idea of a narrow oblique with very tight curves at the corners. A lower-case was added to complete the set, but it’s the capitals and numerics that shine on this typeface, and a proportional renderer like FZX kicks it into gear.

It works well for title pages, although the oblique angle can cause problems for tables and rows of data as they don’t line up as nicely.

Short runs of prose work well, and with a proportional renderer and some care can work well for longer expanses of text.
