Gilda Display
High contrast, but not a didone, and the difference is visible at the joint: the serifs flare into the stem on a curve rather than meeting it at a right angle, and the thick-to-thin transition is a ramp rather than a step. That makes it warmer and considerably more forgiving than the class it gets filed under, and it is why the designer claims it will hold a page of text where a true didone would not. Take that claim carefully. It will, but only at generous sizes and with the leading opened up.

Questions
- Is Gilda Display free for commercial use?
- Yes. Gilda Display is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Gilda Display in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Gilda Display belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Eduardo Tunni. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Gilda Display?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Gilda Display support Turkish?
- Yes. Gilda Display includes the characters Turkish needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- Does Gilda Display support Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish?
- Yes. Gilda Display covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 447 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
