Gieo Text
Gieo Text (pronounced /zeo/ or /jee-o/—meaning 'to sow a seed' in Vietnamese) is a humanist serif family designed for immersive reading in both digital and print media. Inspired by late 15th–16th century Humanist typefaces, Gieo's letters feature prominent calligraphic characteristics that echo the rhythmic and continuous gesture of confident handwriting. Developed by Linh Nguyễn as part of her Master's in Typeface Design at the University of Reading, this typeface pioneer Vietnamese diacritic design in serif fonts and supports both Vietnamese and Extended Latin, with six weights providing versatility for editorial design, books, and web applications.
