Havosh
Havosh is an exaggerated display font that carries a hint of mischief due to its bold, stylized nature. Despite the angled lines, the structure of the characters appears rectangular, which reinforces the font’s sense of weight and “bullying” presence.
Mohammad Darvishi notes: “The world of gaming sometimes draws me toward typography. The idea for Havosh came to me from the famous game Red Dead Redemption. As I began designing it on screen, the font took on various moods; at times, it resembled Clash of Clans, and at others, it reminded me of the God of War series. I challenged myself to make the font increasingly complex, which is why the final result is much more intricate and ‘mature’, though this ‘maturity’ ironically serves to show that it is not mature at all.”
Havosh characters contain no curves; it is as if the handles for the Bezier curves were never defined.

Havosh
Havosh comes in three styles.
RequiredLigatures/Alternates
Havosh focuses heavily on eliminating negative space. For many typographic combinations, contextual alternates have been implemented to fill these voids.
The number of contextual and stylistic alternates is nearly equal to the number of base glyphs, effectively doubling the font’s total glyph count.
Havosh automatically utilizes height-adjusting characters to create visual variety in text.
Stylistic Alternates
To further enhance variety, specific alternates have been designed for many characters and combinations, contributing to the aesthetics of headlines and typography. Please refer to the Havosh user manual for instructions on activating these alternates in Adobe software and web environments. These features are also fully supported on mobile platforms.
