FHNtype

FHNtype is a font family designed by designer Hannes von Döhren. It was released by his type foundry, HVD Fonts, in 2009. FHNtype is characterized by its humanist sans-serif style, meaning it has subtle variations in stroke width and an open, friendly feel. The design draws inspiration from classic serif letterforms, incorporating calligraphic influences to create a legible and expressive typeface.

The FHNtype family includes several weights, ranging from light to bold, and also offers italic versions. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including editorial design, branding, and web design. Its clear letterforms ensure readability in both small and large sizes, making it a practical choice for body text and headlines alike. The overall aesthetic of FHNtype is often described as contemporary yet timeless, balancing modern sensibilities with a touch of traditional craftsmanship. It is a popular choice for designers seeking a typeface that conveys approachability and sophistication.
