About the family


Inspired by the masterful works of António Jacinto de Araújo, introduced in the 1797 publication Nova Arte de Escrever, the Habil type family captures the fluidity and sensitivity inherent in his calligraphic art. Habil reimagines the possibilities of calligraphic typefaces for modern typographic applications, blending historical elegance with contemporary design. Habil is available in three optical sizes, each offering a unique level of contrast—High, Medium, and Low. This versatility makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of design needs, from sophisticated packaging and striking editorial layouts to dynamic graphic design projects. Each size is meticulously crafted to ensure clarity and aesthetic appeal, no matter the context. The type family features an extensive collection of glyphs and stylistic variations, providing designers with the tools to create truly distinctive and versatile typography. While Habil does not replicate any specific drawings from Araújo's original plates, it pays homage to his influence by playing a contemporary role in type design, embodying the same spirit of innovation and artistry.
