Druk vs Raleway
Raleway at 68% similarity is a lateral move rather than a direct substitute — it replaces Druk's condensed aggression with geometric elegance. Best for projects that need strong display typography but prefer sophistication over raw impact. Its full weight range and variable font support offer flexibility that single-weight condensed alternatives cannot.
