The Bowen Fonts selection brings together five distinct TypeType families for comparison. Explore directions for a brand identity, packaging range, or editorial project, from expressive lettering to more restrained typography. Start with the impression you need to create, then examine the individual designs for details that support your layout, content, and intended audience.
Within Bowen Fonts, you will find TT Ricordi Allegria, TT Firs Neue, TT Octosquares, TT Polls, and TT Lovelies Script. Their range extends from the Scandinavian character of TT Firs Neue to the contrasting strokes of TT Ricordi Allegria, a sans serif informed by historical inscriptions. TT Octosquares adds octagonal geometry and a futuristic character. For handwritten or athletic lettering, turn to the remaining options rather than treating every family as interchangeable. Narrow the choice by construction first, then compare the proportions, terminals, and overall texture that distinguish the strongest candidates for your particular brief.
Expressive lettering is another route through Bowen Fonts. TT Lovelies Script is based on original calligraphy and uses connected forms, contextual alternates, and ligatures to sustain a handwritten rhythm. Consider it for invitations, personal branding, or a short packaging signature. TT Polls pairs a modular slab serif with a contrasting script, drawing on American sports graphics. That combination suggests a different starting point for team merchandise, event identities, and casual retail graphics. Match the construction to the message: flowing joins can lead a more personal treatment, while modular slabs can establish a firmer, athletic tone.
When choosing Bowen Fonts, assign each typeface a clear job before combining styles. Try TT Firs Neue for supporting copy beneath a TT Ricordi Allegria headline, or compare a simple sans serif with a brief calligraphic accent. Treat these as starting points for a layout, not fixed pairings. Build a sample with your actual headline, product details, prices, and contact information. Adjust the apparent size of each style rather than assuming equal point sizes will produce equal emphasis. For connected lettering, check joins and spacing within complete words instead of judging isolated characters. Review long names, punctuation, and the accented letters your content requires. A packaging design also needs a proof at its final printed size; a digital layout needs testing at narrow screen widths. Keep the hierarchy understandable without relying entirely on color, and remove decorative treatments when they obscure the information a reader needs to find quickly.
Use this collection to review each family's styles, character set, and OpenType features before downloading a trial. TypeType's evaluation versions allow layout testing and client mockups; they are not intended for finished commercial work. Choose licensing according to the final use, not simply the software in which the artwork is created. Printed packaging, a public logo, live website text, and application embedding are different uses; TypeType provides Desktop, Logo, Webfont, and App options. Review the relevant terms for every channel included in the project. Establish who will hold the license, which team members need access, and whether the work involves external contractors. Select the styles needed for production, then retain the purchase details with the project documentation. Before handover, make sure the client understands the permitted scope and any applicable limits. This keeps the approved design and its practical implementation aligned.
TT Ricordi Allegria is a sleek and intelligent contemporary Florentine grotesque.
TT Firs Neue is a contemporary reincarnation of the good old TT Firs sans serif.
TT Octosquares is a fresh, revised, expanded, and significantly improved version of our first commercial font TT Squares & its narrow version.
TT Polls is the modern modular slab serif family for using in sports-related design.
Without any false modesty, we can say that TT Lovelies Script is one of the most complicated projects we have ever carried out—there are 1115 glyphs, more than 2000 contextual alternates, 10000 kerned pairs, and a large number of OT features, including ligatures and Old Style numbers.
This page groups five TypeType families under the Bowen tag. It is a catalog selection, not one typeface with a shared set of weights or a single historical style. Explore each family separately to understand its construction, available styles, and intended applications.
The selection does not represent a single industry style. Potential applications include retail packaging, hospitality menus, cultural programs, and sports merchandise. Choose according to the brief: a poster headline and a compact product label place different demands on lettering, regardless of the sector.
Yes, with a license covering the intended use. Test the company name alongside taglines, product names, and supporting copy before committing. Define which styles handle each role, and assess the identity in a compact digital placement as well as on larger printed materials.
Look for a clear division between expressive lettering and information. Compare apparent size, stroke weight, spacing, and overall texture rather than choosing by category alone. Two designs should remain distinct without competing for attention; try several size relationships before adding a third typeface.
Yes. You can download trial versions to evaluate a design, then purchase the appropriate commercial license for production. Free evaluation is not unrestricted usage: the chosen license must cover the final deliverables. Check the terms before publishing or distributing finished work.
