Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox font Gabriola is a display typeface designed by John Hudson for Microsoft Corporation.[1] It is named after Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.[1] Versions of Gabriola have been used in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2010.[2]

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]
