Hardy
The Designers Foundry · Wade Jeffree
A single-weight geometric display face by Wade Jeffree that replaces every angular intersection with a circle sized to the angle it softens.
About
Designed by New York-based Wade Jeffree, Hardy applies a consistent rule across its construction: wherever two strokes meet at 45° or 90°, a circle replaces the corner, with the circle's diameter determined by the angle's measure. The result is a face that reads as both chiselled and softened, giving it a slightly unusual personality within the geometric display genre. Available as a single Regular weight, it suits headline and branding work where a distinctive geometric character is wanted without resorting to conventional sharp-cornered letterforms.
Classification
Hardy is a display typeface with a geometric construction defined by circular cuts at every angular intersection, replacing 45° and 90° angles with circles. Its strong personality and chiselled form place it firmly in the geometric display category.
