Gira Sans is Rui Abreu's personal take on the monstrous design. Rui looked for motivation in the early sans serifs of the 19th century; not with the objective to do a revival of Victorian types, however rather in an effort to instill a contemporary confront with a spirited, human feel. The resulting typeface is extremely modern yet subtly wacky, reminiscent of vintage grotesques. It combines clean, clear letterforms with delightful curvy details. The family comes in 7 weights-- varying from a slender Thin to a cheerful, chubby Bonus Strong-- all with matching real italics.
Gira's well-balanced character shapes, large x-height, and generous proportions make it perform well in prolonged body copy. Given the truth that it is a grotesque, subtle functions like the delicate modulation of the strokes and the practically invisible angle of the rounded letters enhances its performance as a text face. When utilized big the idiosyncratic design information like the rounded dots and oblique cuts make it a charming display face. This flexible type household provides character to editorial design and headings, and can be used for a diverse series of other typographic applications.
The fully featured family of OpenType font styles consists of small caps for all the weights, eight figure styles, full latin language assistance and extended ligature sets.
