Demur

Noun; the action or process of objecting to something.

Demur is a sans inspired by social issues and constructivist aesthetics. It was commissioned by the Winnipeg 1919 Workers Collective and expanded its existing logo into a full font.

Demur’s condensed proportions and tight spacing pack letters together like a crowd of marching protesters. The modular construction gives the typeface rhythm and commonality, ensuring the glyphs are cut from the same cloth. This is not your typical boring sans serif.

Despite having a generous x-height, this font is best used at medium to large sizes when emphasis is required—like the headlines on a grassroots zine publication. While you can use it however you want, I ask that you avoid using it in anything harmful or hateful towards others.
