Design
Gabriola was inspired by the calligraphy of Jan van de Velde the Elder.[1] It was developed with advanced OpenType features and has been optimized for ClearType rendering to improve legibility on screens. Hudson added a number of stylistic alternate characters and flourishes, which were grouped thematically by stylistic set into different styles of calligraphy.[3]
