ABOUT

Harbor Type [Henrique Beier]

Henrique Beier (Harbor Type, Porto Alegre, Brazil) is the designer of the excellent angular semi-calligraphic text typeface Garibaldi Regular, which won an award at Tipos Latinos 2014. In 2015 it was extended to a great 7-style typeface family. He writes: Garibaldi is a text typeface based on humanist calligraphy. It started with a desire to learn more about the origin of the strokes on humanist typefaces. It features a 20 degree axis, medium contrast based on translation and expansion, asymmetric serifs, and terminals related to the broad nib stroke.

In 2014, he created the free font Densia Sans, which is condensed and has a tall x-height and some contrast. Graviola (2014) is a soft sans family, with possible applications in information design and wayfinding. It won an award at Tipos Latinos 2016.

In 2016, he published Graviola Soft, an even softer version. He also published the fresh corporate sans typeface family Malva, which can be recognized by the typically Latin American curvy tail on the lower case a and l. Malva was a winner at Tipos Latinos 2018. A variable font option was added in 2019.

In 2017, Henrique Beier published Rocher, a wonderful layered stone emulation font, Flintstone style. It won an award at Tipos Latinos 2018. He has a free variable color version with bevel and shadow axes, Rocher Color (2018).

In 2019, Henrique Beier and Ana Leydner, assisted by Luisa Leitenperger, co-designed Kiperman at Harbor Type. This sturdy 4-style text typeface family pays homage to Brazil's publishing icon Henrique Leao Kiperman (d. 2017). Harbor Type also released the branding and packaging sans typeface family Dona in 2019.

In 2020, Henrique Beier joined Fabio Haag Type, where he promptly published the circular sans family Igual.

In 2021, he assisted with the engineering and design of Salva (Fabio Haag Type), a versatile workhorse sans family: Eduilson Coan was the lead designer. He was supported by the Fabio Haag Type team of Henrique Beier, Ana Laydner and Fabio Haag himself.

Seiva (2021). Designed by Henrique Beier, Eduilson Coan and Fabio Haag, this distant relative of Didot is an exotic sans family. Partitioned into Text, Display and Poster subfamilies, it also welcomes variable font technology.
