About

Ghid means guide in Romanian.

Ghid is a sans-serif typeface designed for wayfinding systems, signage, and information displays. The goal was to create a face that remains legible at a distance, with a clear structure and emphasized distinguishing features. Over time, the project expanded to include several widths and a true italic.

Ghid is also a guide to type design itself. Its development became a journey through the complexities of Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts, as well as the forms and histories of characters, even those that are stylistically distant.
