2. Stroke Contrast

Unlike Didone or Serif faces that rely on dramatic thick-thin transitions, Gitan is a low-contrast sans-serif. The semibold weight maintains nearly uniform stroke width. This creates a stable, mechanical feel that is highly legible in technical documents and dashboards. However, subtle rounding at the terminals (the ends of strokes) prevents the face from feeling robotic. Cormorant Semibold (though less flared)

Inspired by its use in Corissa Nelson's biblical art series.
