CONCEPT:
Harrison Serif Pro is a sturdy yet contrasted slab serif that combines a rational and efficient approach with a warm voice. A typeface of nuances, the slightly carved and occasionally extended serifs evoke the friendly side of Harrison Serif and contrast with the straightforward nature of the typeface’s squarish curves, open counters, and horizontal emphasis. The almost mechanical vertical terminals, open counters, and modest capitals combine with Harrison’s generous x-height to ensure the typeface holds up on screen. Given this serif typeface’s improved ClearType hinting and sturdy physique, no medium is a worry for it.
