The preliminary design had a purely rounded design, but with each advancement pass I introduced some angularity. The outcome is a typeface that is easy to read in long texts, marketing copy, annual reports and the like; but one that also provides a crisp and trendy appeal in more popular display settings.
I select the name Harfang (Harfang des neiges - Snowy Owl or Excellent White Owl) due to the fact that after my first typeface, Migration, I desired something with a thematic relation. On a more individual level, Harfang is the main bird of Québec, a province with a long winter season and a fantastic, white landscape, and the location I call home.
