About
Hartwell pairs the rhythmic, pen-influenced strokes of humanist sans tradition with geometric details, resulting in what the foundry terms a postmodern sans. Nine weights from Thin to Heavy are offered with matching italics, and a second subfamily, Hartwell Alt, mirrors the full weight range with alternate glyph forms. OpenType features include arrows, ligatures, fractions and alternate glyphs, positioning the family for editorial, branding and advertising work.
