About
Conceived first as a text face, Hagel holds its composure in long-form reading whilst revealing finer tensions and crisp detailing when set large. The family covers Regular, Italic and Mono in three cuts, with 616 glyphs per style and broad Latin extended coverage. Further extensions are in development, suggesting a family still finding its full range.
Classification
