CIL Font

CIL by Matthew Gadd of Darkotter360 is a free sans serif with broad, forceful letterforms. Rounded outer corners soften the otherwise square construction, and the low-contrast strokes create a dense, industrial silhouette. The forms are broad and emphatic.

Posters provide an apt medium for its disciplined geometry, especially for sports events, music promotions, and streetwear campaigns. In magazine design, the assertive shapes can turn section openers and feature titles into graphic elements with the blunt impact of printed signage.
