About
Designed by Pavel Pavlov and Plamen Motev, Gwen splits into two optical subfamilies: Display, intended for headlines and posters, and Text, tuned for smaller body sizes. The family spans seven weights from Light to Black across both subfamilies, with a variable font also available. Extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage, alongside OpenType features including ligatures, stylistic alternates and old-style figures, make it serviceable for editorial and multilingual publishing work.
Classification
