About Gorditas

Gorditas is a display slab serif whose letters are thick, soft and slightly irregular. In the specimen the slab serifs have rounded corners, stems swell toward their ends, counters are small, and the lowercase a is a single-storey shape with a blunt tail. The heart details mentioned in the official description are visible in the heading, where the dot of the i is a heart. Figures are broad lining numerals with a slanted zero. The family has two static styles, Regular 400 and Bold 700, and no italic; both are heavy, and the Bold is only a little darker. The 221 glyphs cover the basic Latin set for languages such as Spanish, French, German and Italian. The catalogue credits Gustavo Dipre, while the official description names Brenda Gallo and Gustavo Dipre together. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Gorditas works

Baby and children's products

Fat rounded slabs and the heart over the i give a product name a soft, affectionate tone.

Valentine's and greeting cards

The built-in heart replaces a separate ornament in a short message containing an i.

Bakery and sweet-shop signage

Thick letters with small counters stay solid when cut from vinyl or painted on a window.

Sticker and badge text

A two- or three-word phrase in heavy slabs fills a round sticker evenly.

Things to know

Regular is already heavy

Regular and Bold are both dark display cuts; the family has no light or text weight.

Heart on the i

The dot of the i is drawn as a heart, as the specimen heading shows, which cannot be avoided in words that contain the letter.

Western Latin coverage

Only the basic Latin subset is included. The dotless ı and other Turkish letters, and Polish and Czech accents, are absent.
