Harfang Pro was designed by André Simard and published by PSY/OPS. Harfang Pro contains 12 styles and family package options.
My goal for Harfang was to create a serif typeface that would be easy to read at text sizes, while having a strong personality at larger sizes.
The initial design had a purely rounded style, but with each development pass I introduced some angularity. The final result is a typeface that is easy to read in long texts, advertising copy, annual reports and the like; but one that also provides a crisp and stylish appeal in more prominent display settings.
I choose the name Harfang (Harfang des neiges РSnowy Owl or Great White Owl) because after my first typeface, Migration, I wanted something with a thematic relation. On a more personal level, Harfang is the official bird of Qu̩bec, a province with a long winter and a wonderful, white landscape, and the place I call home.
