Named after Gabriola Island, in British Columbia, Canada, it is primarily intended for use at larger sizes, but can also work well in short passages of text. The Gabriola font can add elegance and grace to titles, subheads and other situations in which a more decorative style of type is appropriate.

Gabriola was developed with advanced OpenType features and has been optimized for advanced ClearType rendering to improve legibility on screen.
The advanced OpenType features in Gabriola makes it come alive. There are eight different stylistic sets, allowing users to set the same text in different modes, from the plainest style to the most elaborated and fanciful. Each style is distinctive, yet each harmonises with the others around the dominant basic construction of the letters. Monark bicycle serial numbers. In addition to the stylistic sets, Gabriola contains very extensive contextual glyph substitutions in each style, improving the fit of the letters and, in the more elaborate styles, avoiding ugly collisions or over-use of ornament.
