Harrington Font – Printable Zentangle Alphabet & Number Coloring Pages

I love the font, Harrington. As a graphic designer, I was inspired by the curves and curls for logos such as my friend’s cat logo I designed for her tea business: Aka Tea

 

As a zentangle artist, I immediately wanted to take the outlines of all of the letters and numbers in the Harrington font and decorate them with zentangle designs and flowers and leaves.

These coloring pages have been some of my top selling zentangles in my Etsy shop. The letter “M” is the most popular in my shop and on Pinterest.

 

Harrington font family history: 

“This face was made during the late 19th century, the same period when these high-waisted art nouveau letters were fashionable. Harrington probably first appeared in the list of fonts from Haddons, a type foundry in London. Unlike many of the other art nouveau fonts, however, Harrington came with a full character set. For some years, the need for a typeface of this kind has only been met by fonts like University Roman. Harrington deserves to be seen once again, nearly a century after it first appeared.” (Information from Microsoft).

 

Here is the collection of Harrington Font Alphabet Letters and Numbers coloring pages, along with some special characters and punctuation, available in my shop, or in my Etsy shop: DJPenscript.
