Author's note

Zikketica, created by Brian, is a free contemporary sans serif with a firm, straightforward build. Its broad capitals carry even strokes and squared endings, alongside round forms that feel carefully controlled. Its lowercase is tall and compact.

It can give a brand the crisp voice of public signage, fitting retail identities and product packaging. Posters and digital graphics also benefit from its generous proportions, plain geometry, and slightly severe edge. In an identity system, the broad capitals can become a sign-like emblem instead of neutral labeling.

Some features intentionally differ from Helvetica. Its proportions are also different.
