Harlow (typeface)

The shadowed weight of Harlow on a Letraset sheet.

Harlow is a typeface intended for display use.[1][2] Designed by Colin Brignall and originally published by Letraset, it is inspired by lettering in the Streamline Moderne style of the 1930s and 1940s.[3]

The solid weight, sometimes named Harlow Solid Italic, is included with Microsoft software such as Microsoft Office.[4] A shadowed weight is sold commercially by ITC.[5]
