About
Designed by Daniel Veneklaas and published by Counter Forms, Herbik runs from Regular through to Black with a matching italic for each weight. The specimen leans heavily on editorial text drawn from discussions of Australian Indigenous language documentation and typography in Southeast Asia, suggesting the family is positioned for sustained reading at text sizes. The range of ten styles gives it enough scope for structured editorial hierarchies.
