TT Fors font

Extended information

TT Fors Font Family is a geometric sans serif with a neutral personality and meticulously balanced proportions. It features two subfamilies: display and text. The typeface complements the TypeType’s range of versatile sans serifs that already includes TT Norms Pro, TT Commons Pro, TT Hoves Pro, TT Interphases Pro, and TT Firs Neue.

The inspiration for TT Fors was drawn from the research on geometric sans serifs of the 20th century and their contribution to the visual environment of that period. Although the typeface’s core is historical, we aimed to create an advanced and highly adaptable font for any modern task, from branding and packaging design to implementation into interfaces and apps. The font’s name refers to its versatility and the multitude of purposes it serves for.

TT Fors stands out for its glyphs and forms contrasting in width, closely resembling the basic geometric shapes (circle, triangle, and rectangle). In addition, the forms of rounded characters approach a perfect circle, and the rest have narrower proportions. The sufficiently tall lowercase characters enhance the font’s functionality even more. TT Fors can also be used in both large and very small point sizes because of its precise geometric shapes and uniform construction rules.

While crafting the display version of the typeface, It was essential to keep the font’s stylish and elegant character and add new meanings to it. That’s why the forms and proportions of characters in TT Fors Display remain recognizable and acquire high-contrast glyphs as a special trait. The typesetting is consistent, and the terminals are a little more closed than those of the main subfamily, which emphasizes the entire typeface’s personality. Another important detail of this font is thin punctuation marks, certain typographical symbols, and diacritics. We also implemented several alternate characters with thin inner diagonals (M, W) and a set with thin descending elements in Cyrillic alphabets to enhance the expressiveness of the typesetting. However, the display font style has calmer alternates for some letters, typographical symbols, and other marks.

Numerous OpenType features integrated into TT Fors allow designers to adapt it to match their tastes and needs. The typeface features ligatures, circled figures, arrows, slashed 0, small caps, a set of alternate round full stops and punctuation marks (only in the Text subfamily), and more stylistic alternates. Two outline font styles, roman and italic, offer even greater opportunities for creative exploration. Besides, the TT Fors typeface offers two variable fonts for each subfamily. Both variable fonts support two variation axes: weight and slant.

TT Fors includes:

• 34 font styles: 9 roman and 9 italic in the Text subfamily, 6 weights and 6 italic styles in the Display subfamily, 2 outline styles and also 2 variable fonts for both subfamilies;
• 1044 glyphs in each font style;
• 35 OpenType features;
• 180+ languages support.
