About Gudea

Gudea is a sans serif family with plain, slightly condensed letters. The official description says it takes its cue from engineering documentation and aims at the technical look of drawings in fields such as land surveying and architecture; it began as a face for labels and maps. In the specimen the Regular is light in colour, with even strokes, open apertures in a, c, e and s, and narrow capitals. Gudea has three static styles: Regular 400, Italic 400 and Bold 700. There is no Bold Italic and no variable version. The fonts hold 291 glyphs in a Latin character set, which includes the letters for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and the Nordic languages. Agustina Mingote is named as designer in the record, the name table and the license notice.

Where Gudea works

Map and diagram labels
Gudea was first drawn for labels and maps, and its narrow letters keep short labels compact.
Technical documentation
The engineering-drawing source of the design suits manuals, specifications and annotated figures.
Interface captions and forms
Open apertures and plain shapes keep field labels and helper text clear.
Narrow columns
The condensed structure fits more characters per line in sidebars and side notes.
