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

Why X+O? Because an X+O is one of the most primal marks a person can make. Because we use those marks to close messages to people we care for. Making new letters is making new ways for people to say, “Hey there, kamutsa, bom dia, zdrávo, kako ste! I see you over there and want to show you something I’ve written. I’d love to see something you’ve written, too.” All the type at XO is made by Patric King, who’s been making letters since 1994—first with Thirstype, then Village, and now on his own.
