About font family
Introducing the legendary TT Fors version 2.000!
This functional and aesthetic typeface from the TypeType’s basic font collection has become even better: we’ve added a new subfamily, updated kerning and hinting, and enhanced the variable font.
TT Fors is a geometric sans-serif with a neutral personality and refined proportions. The typeface complements TypeType’s line of versatile sans-serifs, which already includes families like TT Norms® Pro, TT Commons™ Pro, TT Hoves Pro, TT Interphases Pro, and TT Firs Neue.
The inspiration for creating TT Fors came from studying geometric sans-serifs from the early to mid-20th century and analyzing their contribution to the visual environment of that time. At the same time, we aimed to create an advanced and highly adaptable font that can be used for any modern tasks—from branding and packaging to digital interfaces and apps. The name itself reflects its versatility: Fors derives from the word «for».
The characters in TT Fors have dynamic proportions. Their forms are as close as possible to basic geometric shapes (circle, triangle, square). Rounded characters tend towards a perfect circle, while others have narrower proportions. Sufficiently tall lowercase characters make the font even more functional. And the carefully designed geometric forms and unified construction rules allow TT Fors to be used in both large and very small point sizes.
In the display version, it was important for us to preserve the font’s clean aesthetic while introducing subtle nuances. The proportions and shapes of characters in TT Fors Display remain recognizable, but with a distinctive touch—high-contrast symbols that add character while maintaining uniformity. The set tends towards uniformity, and slightly closed terminals underscore the character of the entire typeface.
A large number of OpenType features allows designers to adapt the font to their tastes and needs. TT Fors includes ligatures, circled figures, arrows, and other stylistic alternatives and features. Additionally, the typeface includes two variable fonts. The display subfamily has two variable axes—weight and slope, while the basic subfamily has three—weight, width, and slope.
TT Fors includes:
- 50 styles: 18 upright, 18 italic, and 1 variable font in the main subfamily (Basic + Condensed), 6 upright, 6 italic, and 1 variable font in the display subfamily
- 1,044 characters in each basic subfamily style, 813 characters in each Display subfamily style
- 35 OpenType features in the basic subfamily and 36 in the Display subfamily
- Support for 185+ languages
