Back Typeface:
〔EN〕 Hawara is not your average typeface – it’s more like that cheeky pal who’s read Boys Don’t Cry by Jack Urwin one too many times and won’t stop reminding you that, hey, it’s totally fine for men to feel things. Like, seriously feel things. Borrowing its name from Austrian slang, “Hawara” can mean “lover” or “friend” – which we think fits perfectly, since this serif family is basically your new best bud, ready to back you up whether you’re feeling super zen or a little on edge. And because men can apparently be as soft and warm as a cozy blanket and as tough as a leather jacket (who knew?), we created two distinct variations – Soft and Hard – plus a handy Variable version that lets you slide between the two. Think of it like adjusting your mood music from peaceful acoustic tunes to head-banging rock in the blink of an eye. No judgments here. So whether you’re using Hawara for a heart-on-your-sleeve monologue in a magazine spread or a bold headline about “Man Tears: A Modern Saga,” each style captures that delicate (and sometimes hilarious) dance between tenderness and strength. Because guess what? Being a “Hawi” (dude) means you can be both – and still look good in print. Embrace the irony, flaunt those feelings, and let Hawara show the world that maybe, just maybe, boys can cry, and it’s totally okay.
〔DE〕 Hawara ist nicht bloß irgendeine weitere Schriftart – sie ist eher wie dieser vorwitzige Kumpel, der Boys Don’t Cry von Jack Urwin schon viel zu oft gelesen hat und dir pausenlos klarzumachen versucht, dass es völlig in Ordnung ist, wenn Männer auch mal Gefühle zeigen. Und zwar wirklich echte, tiefe Gefühle, mein Guter. Der Name „Hawara“ kommt zwar aus dem österreichischen Slang und bedeutet „Liebhaber“ oder „Freund“, aber ganz ehrlich: Das passt doch perfekt zu einer Serif-Familie, die in jeder Lebenslage hinter dir steht – egal, ob du gerade tiefenentspannt bist oder kurz vorm Ausrasten. Weil Männer anscheinend beides sein dürfen – weich wie ein sanftes Kissen und hart wie eine Stahlplatte (wer hätte das gedacht?) – kommt Hawara direkt in zwei Ausführungen: Soft und Hard. Plus eine schicke Variable-Version, mit der du fröhlich von schmalzigem Liebessong zu Headbanger-Rock wechseln kannst, je nach Stimmung. Kein Urteil, kein Stress. Also ganz gleich, ob du Hawara für einen rührseligen Gefühlsmonolog im Magazin oder für eine krawallige Schlagzeile wie „Männertränen: Das Comeback!“ einsetzt – jede Variante bringt dieses amüsante Hin und Her zwischen Zartheit und Stärke perfekt rüber. Denn, Überraschung: Ein moderner Mann kann eben beides. Und er sieht dabei auch noch ziemlich gut aus – zumindest, wenn Hawara am Werk ist. Also raus mit den Emotionen, rein ins Vergnügen und zeig der Welt, dass Jungs vielleicht doch heulen dürfen – und dass das völlig okay ist.

Hawara
Upright
& Italic
Hawara Soft
Austria, formally the Republic of Austria, is a landlocked country in Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps. It is a federation of nine states, one of which is the capital, Vienna, the most populous city and state.
Hawara Soft Italic
The native name for Austria, Österreich, derives from the Old High German Ostarrîchi, which meant “eastern realm” and which first appeared in the “Ostarrîchi document” of 996.
Hawara Hard
Austria is a largely mountainous country because of its location in the Alps. The Central Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps, and Southern Limestone Alps are all partly in Austria. Of the total area of Austria (83,871 km2 or 32,383 sq mi), only about a quarter can be considered low-lying, and only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft).
Hawara Hard Italic
However, the de facto common spoken languages of Austria are not Austrian German taught in schools but Bavarian and Alemannic dialects: Two Upper German local languages or collection of dialects with varying degrees of difficulty being understood by each other as well as by speakers of non-Austrian German dialects.
