Harlean’s lively personality bursts off the page in an exciting blend of ruggedness and panache. Its eccentric letterforms vary in axis, baseline, and height, reflecting Harlean’s unusual provenance — it was rendered with a flexible-nib pen. It’s a font that speaks of free-spirited adventure and jazz-inflected, improvisational style.
Harlean’s convincingly human appearance derives from its savvy use of contextual alternates. Add your own swash and alternate forms to experiment even further, then complement your layout with ornaments, borders, and corner elements.
