Author's note

FV Granada, designed by Floris Voorveld, is a free light sans serif with tall, open proportions and notably broad capitals. Its near-monoline strokes, circular curves, and clean-cut endings give the lettering an airy, architectural order.

A contemporary architecture studio or design-led retailer could use it for a restrained identity, especially across signage and packaging. It also suits magazine mastheads and cultural-event posters, where the wide forms can establish a calm horizontal pace. The spare geometry connects these uses to modernist interiors, exhibition graphics, and other settings built around structure rather than ornament.

--

The font is available in three weights, and the regular weight is free. It is named after the city where the creator has lived for two years.

The three-weight package is available for purchase on the creator’s website or via Gumroad.
