Archer vs Aleo
Aleo chases the same warmth that makes Archer appealing, just by a slightly different route. At 70% similarity it softens its serifs and curves to feel approachable rather than mechanical, landing close to Archer's welcoming tone. It is a good match when the brief calls for friendly and human and the exact ball-terminal detail matters less than the overall feel.
