Curated by the Monotype Studio.
TypeType.
TypeType is an independent type design studio based in beautiful St. Petersburg, Russia and founded in 2013 by Ivan Gladkikh and Alexander Kudryavtsev. The foundry produces uncompromising retail and custom typefaces, and specializes in expanding typefaces to include Cyrillic characters. Over 20,000 designers from more than 110 countries have used the foundry’s typefaces.
TT Norms Pro
Released in 2017, TT Norms Pro was the bestselling geometric sans on MyFonts that year, and ever since has consistently topped the charts. Friendly, neutral, and technical, it has all the OpenType features you would come to expect from a Pro family. It looks great in all caps, and it has recently been expanded to include variable fonts.
TT Travels
TT Travels is a geometric grotesque with wide proportions and peculiar shapes of circles and brackets. The font family incorporates two different stylistic sets. The first set, ss01, uses smooth character design to make the font more humanistic, while the second set, 2202, defines the style with characters which have experimental forms of graphemes. TT Travels also implements standard and discretionary ligatures, oldstyle figures, slashed zero, and much more.
TT Interphases
TT Interphases is the highly-researched interface font from TypeType. It was designed specifically for modern interfaces on the web and in mobile devices. Its metrics are based on the average values from the most popular interface and default system fonts, so your platforms can seamlessly work in any situation. It also comes with 4 monospaced fonts designed for use at small sizes.
TT Runs
Inspired by past Olympic venues and the evolution of “sports” typefaces through different eras and continents, TT Runs is a wide modern sans-serif font family targeted for application to elastic sports outfits and casual sportswear. The typeface has wide and slightly stretched proportions, reversed contrast of the shape of some characters relative to the vertical line and their deformation, and overall plasticity of letters. TT Runs is very versatile: on the one hand, it is a regular sans-serif that can be used even in a large text array, and on the other hand, it is a bright display typeface with irregular proportions of characters that looks great even in large headings.
TT Hoves
Modern and industrial, TT Hoves relies on geometry to create a distinctly sharp sans serif. It is perfect for architecture, design, and space industry use cases. The lighter weights have a certain brightness to them which creates a modern feel, all while continuing to be very readable. The typeface name TT Hoves comes from an abbreviated combination of two words: horizontals + verticals (ho + ve), which is intended to emphasize the fact that vertical and horizontal strokes predominate in the design of the typeface.
TT Norms Std Condensed
TT Norms Std Condensed is an evolution of TypeType’s bestselling TT Norms family. TT Norms Std Condensed has narrower proportions than the original family, but inherited the classic proportions of characters, attention to detail, and meticulous elaboration of each character in the typeface.
TT Trailers
TT Trailers shouts FUN! It’s funky yet still modern, and it originated as a reimagining of movie posters. Special care was taken in the design of the typeface to preserve a natural rhythm, while still creating unexpected and delightful moments in the letterform spacing. Use any of the 9 styles designed by TypeType, or experiment yourself with TT Trailers Variable. It also comes with a handy set of coordinating icons.
TT Backwards
TT Backwards is a lovely script and sans duo of typefaces that work perfectly together. The script is monolinear, and can be used to achieve a vintage, sophisticated, or neon look. The sans is a narrow grotesque and was designed to ensure functional use in small and large sizes.
TT Tsars
The TT Tsars font family is a collection of serif display titling fonts that are stylized to resemble the fonts of the beginning, the middle and the end of the 18th century. Separated into groupings based on era, A - D stick to established historical ideals. E however, is a steampunk fantasy typeface, based on Russian Сivil type (also referred to as Grazhdansky type which emerged after Peter the Great’s language reform). This style represents TypeType’s reflections on the topic of what would have happened if the civil font had developed further and received a Latin counterpart, where the civil type was exported to Europe and began a new style.
TT Knickerbockers
A grotesk and script pair, both fonts in this family can stand alone as excellent fonts for branding. The grotesk conveys high fashion in the modern era, while the script softens the look with ribbon-like flourishes. Combine them for a balanced brand that is both friendly and high-end.
TT Bluescreens
An ideal condensed sans typeface, TT Bluescreens has been especially considered for readability across weights. Solid, bold, neutral, and powerful, it is ideal for headlines that need to stand out.
TT Berlinerins
This font duo was inspired by the visual contrast of Berlin. Just like in the city itself where history and modernity are intertwined, the elegant script symbolizes modern Berlin, and the wood-type display style based on wood type in posters from the first part of the 20th century represents the historic component of the city.
TT Lovelies Script
TT Lovelies is an extensive, seamlessly connected script with over 1,115 glyphs, 2,000 contextual alternates, and 10,000 kerned pairs. Sometimes you just need a script font that works, without any headaches from running into certain letter pairings that don’t work well together. TypeType has even ensured that capital letters are connected to lowercase letters without any breaks.
