Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini designed Hagrid as a celebration of the expressive potential of grotesque letterforms when exposed to the crypto-typographer’s love for the strange and the overlooked. Hagrid blends grotesque structure with calligraphic counterspaces, inverted contrast, and brutalist shapes to create a bold, impactful voice for both print and digital use. Originally released as a display family, Hagrid was expanded and redesigned in 2025 to improve readability and functionality. The updated Text family features refined proportions, and optimized spacing for long-form reading, while the Display family introduces subtle contrast in lighter weights and a new Black style with fully closed counterspaces for maximum visual impact. The family supports Extended Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Arabic scripts, with the Arabic set revised in collaboration with Murad Alsharaweb. OpenType features include positional numbers, discretionary ligatures and a playful “Monsters” stylistic set that transforms letters into expressive, creature-like forms. Hagrid is ideal for editorial, branding, and expressive typography projects that embrace originality and typographic personality.
