Zabatana Poster Font

Zabatana Poster by Fernando Haro of deFharo is a free high-contrast serif display font with an exceptionally tall, compressed silhouette and clear roots in the Didone tradition. Broad vertical strokes meet hairline joins and blade-sharp serifs, with abrupt changes of width lending the letters a severe, elegant edge.

Fashion, nightlife, and stage culture suit its poised, theatrical drawing. It can shape magazine covers, perfume packaging, event posters, and album artwork, especially for projects that favor glamour over softness. In packaging or poster work, the towering letters can become the central decorative architectural frame around fashion photography rather than serving as ordinary text.
