I recently discovered a letter from the Moveo Sans type family which I found interesting. Moveo Sans is a typeface from the Green Type Foundry based in Saint Petersburg.

What I loved about this letter is as the bowl closes near the tail of the 'a'; it takes an abrupt corner and finished off as a straight line rather than continuing the curve. This sharp finishing broke looks stunning, it draws my eye. It is just such a tiny detail but something which I have not seen before and it adds a bucket-load of character to the character (sorry... couldn't resist the joke). It gives the letter its personality which is a staple for the rest of the typeface. Something about how small a detail it is and despite that it gives the letter so much personality, this is what I consider perfect type design.
