Author's note

Giro Outline is a free outlined geometric display font built from smooth, even strokes. Its rounded letters have an airy tubular construction, with open joins and circular forms giving the design a crisp, technical look.

Technology and playful futurism are natural subjects for this lettering, making it useful for game graphics, event posters, and electronic music artwork. The concentric curves can also shape packaging for gadgets or toys, where the letters can echo cables, circuits, and molded plastic details.

Giro is a sans serif typeface.

It was designed for an independent music label and was part of the graduation project of designer Marcelo Magalhes.
