About Gabriela

Gabriela is a serif typeface with rounded forms and a signature detail: many strokes finish in a curl. The specimen shows it on the tail of a, the foot of l and t, the arms of k and the bowl of the capital G, which loops under itself. The lowercase a is single-storey, the g has a closed lower loop and the ampersand is a rounded E-t form. Eduardo Tunni's notes explain that the curls link one letter to the next, so words form connected shapes and paragraphs an even texture; he presents the face as readable in small bodies of text and eye-catching in headlines. Gabriela has one Regular style and 599 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Cyrillic. The official notes add that a 2023 update brought wider Latin language support, a larger glyph set and proper fractions.

Where Gabriela works

Headlines with a soft voice

Curled terminals are large enough to notice in a title and give it a warm, hand-finished look.

Food and cosmetics packaging

Rounded shapes and the looping G suit product names for bakery, tea, soap and similar goods.

Latin and Cyrillic editions

One file covers both scripts in the same style, so a Russian or Ukrainian version keeps the look of the English one.

Short reading texts

The designer's notes say the linked word shapes read well in small text blocks such as intros, recipes and captions.

Children's and family titles

The single-storey a and gentle curls keep book covers and event programmes approachable.
