Fatih Hardal, the graphic designer who became popular through the end of 2020. Although his field of specialization seems to be font designing, he also has creative works in various disciplines such as logo, poster, packaging and corporate identity guideline designs.

He is inspired by the movements of minimalism and purism. Basically, his approach to designing differs from the others. He adopts a systematic and practical learning & teaching method that consists not only the sense of aesthetics, but also functionality. He emphasizes that even though the major objective of the typography is communication, the aesthetics should not be ignored.

He acts with the principle of “Less is more” mentality in all fields of designing including the graphic design.
