The word Ghibli per se refers to a Saharan hot and dry wind commonly known as the Sirocco. In Arabic language, Ghibli is known as Qibli or Kibli, meaning Southern for those Arabic nations who live in the North of Africa. The Ghibli wind is most common during spring and autumn, and can blow at almost 60mph; it is this wind which is responsible for the dry, dusty conditions on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Ghibli can last for days making life miserable and is therefore feared by the desert dwellers in that region. It can also have profound effect on the landscape by moving vast quantities of sand and dunes.
Inspired by the Studio Ghiblis unique and magical characters, the Ghibli typeface is designed as a Latin free and literary serif typeface. It strongly expresses transition, imagination, sharpness, characterization, and modernization. It is a literary type that can capture the eyesight of readers and other observers with its acute and stylistic letterforms, dots, and numerals. It has transitional serifs and it is generally based upon the Latin printing style of the 18th and 19th centuries, with a pronounced vertical contrast in stroke emphasis (i.e., vertical strokes being heavier than the horizontal strokes). It has more regular forms in which serifs are bracketed and more symmetrical. The main characteristic of Ghibli typeface is in its new designed serif letters. Special letters that can be described as having modern designs include small g, p (with their open ends), x, and capital B, P, Q, and R (with their open ends). Ghibli typeface has also both of lining and old-style numerals which makes it more suitable for any literary and printing purposes.
This gratuitous font comes in only two weights (i.e., Ghibli Regular and Ghibli Bold). It is absolutely preferable to be used in the wide fields related to literature and publication industry. This includes typing titles of diverse literary and academic books, readable texts of novels, novellas, short stories, prose, poetry, textbooks, newspapers, and magazines. It is also notable if chosen for designs that include movies titles, logos of academic institutions such as colleges and universities, organizations and associations names, medical packages such as those dedicated for tablets and syrups, and also other different educational and social materials. Ghibli is simply a free literary typeface dedicated for all who want to write and read using a modern and stylish serif font. Enjoy it. |
