About the family


Barkanon – A Strong, Versatile Serif with Timeless Character

Barkanon is a serif typeface that balances strength and elegance, combining classic influences with a contemporary approach. Its letterforms are structured and confident, with sharp, angular details softened by smooth curves, creating a typeface that feels both assertive and refined.

Designed with versatility in mind, Barkanon comes in six weights, from Light to Black, each with a matching italic. The lighter weights offer a sense of openness and clarity, making them well-suited for body text, while the heavier weights have a bold presence that works beautifully in headlines, branding, and editorial design. The italics add a subtle dynamic contrast, keeping the rhythm natural and fluid.

Barkanon’s proportions are balanced for readability, with carefully spaced letterforms that adapt well to both print and digital environments. It has a strong, grounded feel in display settings—ideal for logos, signage, and packaging—while remaining legible and composed in long-form text. Whether used in bold, expressive compositions or in more restrained typographic layouts, it retains its distinct character without overwhelming the design.

There’s a quiet confidence in Barkanon. It doesn’t rely on ornamentation or excess but instead on the clarity of well-drawn forms and thoughtful details. It’s a typeface that feels at home in many settings, offering designers a reliable and adaptable tool with just enough personality to leave a lasting impression.
