GD Gaio – Neo-Grotesk
What if a typeface could simply disappear? GD Gaio was born from the long tradition of so-called “normal” typefaces — designs that deliberately avoided standing out. From early grotesques in the 19th century to the postwar pursuit of neutrality, designers searched for a letterform that carried no accent, no ego, only clarity. Beatrice Warde once compared good typography to a crystal goblet: it should hold the meaning without drawing attention to itself. In this spirit, Gaio continues the legacy of invisibility. It is not about charm, decoration, or display. It is about neutrality — a silent framework that allows words to pass through unfiltered. Optimized for clarity across screens and sizes, it serves as our house typeface, always present but never obtrusive. And because true communication must reach beyond borders, Gaio was built with support for over 300 languages, covering the full Latin alphabet and its extensions. A typeface designed to disappear — so that meaning can appear.

Typography guides the reader’s eye, giving words rhythm and clarity. Letterforms carry personality, balancing elegance with function. The choice of typeface can subtly shift tone, while spacing and scale create harmony on the page. Details in curves, serifs, and proportions distinguish one font from another, making text both legible and visually engaging.
