Harmider
Laïc · Maciej Połczyński
A blocky headline typeface with restrained serifs, designed by Maciej Połczyński with full Polish character support.
About
Built for headline use, Harmider pairs a heavy, blocky structure with what the designer calls 'shy serifs', giving it an idiosyncratic character that sits between a slab and a display serif. The character set covers the full Polish alphabet including diacritics such as ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż, alongside oldstyle figures. The name is taken from a Polish word meaning a kind of cacophonous noise, suggesting the type is designed to command attention rather than recede.
Classification
Described explicitly as a headline, blocky typeface with shy serifs, placing it firmly in the display category with a quirky slab-adjacent character rather than a text serif.
