Chivo

Designed by Omnibus-Type

About

Chivo ("Goat" in Spanish) is Omnibus-Type's first grotesque family. The strength of Chivo Black makes it ideal for highlights and headlines whilst Chivo Regular's elegance is ideal for continuous reading. Its design details make it an indispensable ally for any designer.

In october 2022, the family is upgraded to a variable font ranging from Thin to Black, including matching italics. The glyphset has also been extended, supporting now a wider number of languages.

The family was developed by Héctor Gatti. To contribute, see github.com/Omnibus-Type/Chivo.

Choosing type

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
