Harri (which means “stone” in Basque) is a display font based on the hallmark letterforms used in signs and building façades all over the Basque Country in Spain. This idiosyncratic lettering style, unique to the culture, evolved from ancient inscriptions carved on gravestones that can still be found in the French part of the Basque Country (Behe Nafarroa, Lapurdi, and Zuberoa). Harri takes some of its more significant features from those engraved letterforms, but also from the current overemphasized shapes derived from them, while remaining mindful of their ancestors: Roman inscriptions and—going even further back—Roman capitals. This evolution is echoed in Harri throughout its weights, from the clean formal Light to the expressive ExtraBold; Type-Ø-Tones 2017

Type-Ø-Tones is a typographic design company founded in 1990 by Joan Barjau, Enric Jardí, Laura Meseguer and José Manuel Urós. Although we mainly publish our own designs, we collaborate with many other typographers.
In our friend Jan Middendorp words: “They’re a loosely-knit collective of independent individuals, each with their own activities as graphic designers, writers and teachers. They have been making and publishing fonts since the early days of desktop type design and pioneered digital techniques that are now commonplace. Their fonts represent an approach that is, perhaps, typically Catalan: simultaneously adventurous and serious, witty and well-conceived.”
