Brief: geometric grotesque, simple shapes,
readable, technology, non-monospace. Each candidate on the real content — the wordmark on paper
and on the dark canvas, a headline, a slice of UI, body copy, tabular numerals and the letters that
give a geometric face away (a g e R Q G 1 4 0).

Six redevelopment options are on the table for the former Silk Combine.
Darwin holds the 46 buildings, their estimated storeys and floor areas, and the zone plans
per option, then answers questions about them in plain language — a working surface, not a
slide deck.
Storeys, heights, floor areas and interior zones are estimates and
are labelled as such throughout the interface.

Decision 2026-09-16 · applied to the mockups
Sora for the interface, Space Grotesk for display and the wordmark
The interface moved from Manrope to Sora, and the DRWN wordmark from Big
Shoulders Display to Space Grotesk (also the display face for titles and big numbers).
Manrope was the closest single-family fit — a geometric grotesque
readable from a 2 rem headline down to an 11 px label, semi-condensed so it fits more
building names per line. Space Grotesk is the strongest
technology signal and the most distinctive; best as the display/identity face, echoing
the condensed wordmark. Sora and Red Hat Display read more overtly “tech” for the
interface itself; Plus Jakarta Sans adds personality inside the grotesque lane;
Poppins and DM Sans are the safe, friendly geometrics but read a touch generic.
