About

Harting's Details

David Rakowski

Typewriter

Open Source

Harting is a free font from David Rakowski.

Harting was created by David Rakowski. The typeface shows dedication to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Typewriter typeface in the Vox-ATypI Mechanistic Lineal classification, Harting features fixed-pitch spacing inherited from mechanical constraints and ink-spread simulation with slightly thickened joints. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for retro-tech branding and editorial design.

Harting is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
