For a constructed sans, Intercom’s letterforms are quite open, which increases their legibility. The typeface is designed for newspaper headlines and other editorial or corporate identity projects. It features lowercase letters with a tall x-height, combined with very short ascenders and descenders to enable compact multi-line settings. Letterforms have visible stroke-contrast, and everything about the design is as streamlined as possible. There are 390 glyphs in each weight, and every font includes an alternate spurless form of the lowercase letter ‘r’.
