Tomorrow’s new typeface: Gik

A versatile modular typeface that is full of controversy

April 18, 2024

Gik is a family of three modular typefaces: Fine, Medium, Brutal. Their design combines handwritten letterforms and plastic solutions of (De-)Constructivism, Brutalism, and de Stijl type. The typeface’ personality is a balancing act between modernist enthusiasm and postmodernist mockery.

Despite its conceptual controversy, Gik is a quite multi-purpose typeface which would be an appropriate choice for the Fashion Week set design as well as a crypto startup identity (there is a bitcoin sign in the character set designed specifically to this end).
