About Gia Font Family


Gia is 7 weights, true small caps and unicase options, designed after iconic letterforms of the 1960’s to 1980’s. In the early years of the American tech revolution, when Silicon Valley was more closely identified with Dallas, Texas, a curious type of letterform began to appear—strict in geometry, and curiously minimal in geometry and stroke, making it easier to be read by machine-readers, and people more used to reading machine-generated typography. Coders! As the years went on, this kind of sinewy, curved letterform began popping up in logotypes and music videos and upright video games: NASA, The Buggles, Atari, Pong, Sega, Namco, Stern, Devo, Apple. Gia pays homage to that letterform, and is named after Gia Carangi, the iconic face of early 1980’s pop fashion.

About XO Type Co

Typefaces made in Chicago; proud to have made Chicago's official typeface, Big Shoulders which is free for anyone to use. An X and O are two of the most primal marks a person can make. We use those marks to close messages to people we care for. Making new letterforms is making new ways for people to say “Hey there, kamutsa, bom dia, zdrávo, kako ste! I see you over there, and I want to show you something I’ve written. I’d love to see something you’ve written, too.”
