Familiar Faces · Flora de Carvalho
A five-weight variable grotesque by Brazilian designer Flora de Carvalho, sold through her Familiar Faces foundry on fonts.xyz.
About
Gude is a variable sans-serif spanning Thin to Black, with OpenType contextual alternates built in. Designed by Flora de Carvalho under her Familiar Faces label, it sits in the functional grotesque tradition and is suited to branding, editorial, and UI work. The variable axis gives it flexibility across the full weight range without switching between separate files.
Classification
A contemporary sans-serif from the grotesque tradition, consistent with Flora de Carvalho's previous work on Vinila. The variable weight axis spanning Thin to Black and inclusion of contextual alternates place it in the functional grotesque camp rather than geometric or humanist.
