ABOUT

Gydient [Giang Nguyen]

Gydient (Giang Nguyen) is a multidisciplinary designer based in Vietnam and Germany, who studied in Hanoi (2015-2017). In 2017, she co-founded Fustic Studio. In 2019, she started a Bachelor of Arts at Hamburg Department of Design (HAW). Her typefaces:

• Viaoda Libre (2020) or Viaoda Antiqua. A free font by Giang Nguyen, type-engineeered by Vietanh D. Nguyen. Covering Latin (including Vietnamese) and Cyrillic. Free at Google Fonts. She writes: Inspired by Vietnamese cultural symbolism, Viaoda Antiqua is a mix of both the old and the new, appearing with traditional elegance and modern professionalism at the same time.
• Agent Orange (2019, by Gydient and Nhi Bui). She writes: Over 150,000 kids struggle to lead a normal life due to biological deformities caused by Agent Orange---the deadly herbicide used by the US during the Vietnam War. The voice of a deformed legacy. Monotype gives these victims a voic of hope with the Agent Orang typeface. Use of this typeface raises awareness about their plight andn generates donations. To create the Agent Orange typeface, we analyzed the anatomy of Amarillo USAF, the font on the American AirForce planes that sprayed Agent Orange on Vietnam, and distorted the proportion of it.
