Hyrax is a display font that balances expressiveness and legibility through geometric shapes and softened edges. Its robust and contemporary design brings a unique personality while maintaining the clarity needed for various uses. Available for free under the SIL Open Font License (OFL), allowing personal and commercial use without restrictions.
(APPROACH)
The project was born out of the need to create a versatile display font that works well in different sizes and applications while maintaining its distinctive personality. The geometric approach with organic touches allows it to stand out without compromising functionality.
(VISION AND INNOVATION)
The vision behind hyrax is to democratize access to quality display fonts. Every character has been carefully designed to maintain visual consistency and harmony, creating a coherent typographic system that serves both minimalist and expressive projects.
The main challenge was to balance the strong personality with versatility. The process required multiple iterations to refine the curves and adjust the visual weight of each character, ensuring that the font maintained its identity in different contexts without losing the human touch.
(CLIENT NEEDS)
The hyrax comes to add and meet the need for free display fonts with professional finish and adequate support for Latin languages. It is ideal for designers who need a striking font for titles and logos, and the best part: it is free.
