Introducing TT Gertika—our new expressive typeface that blends contemporary and archaic!
TT Gertika is a geometric sans serif with a dynamic character and a dancing rhythm. This font’s idea originates from the lettering featured on an American poster from the late 1930s. We saw many peculiar and eye-catching details in the letters and decided to reimagine them. As a result, we got a font that alludes to something ancient and primitive while still being modern.
TT Gertika stands out for its rough diagonal stroke cuts at a 90° angle, sharp and “straightforward” intersections of letter elements, asymmetrical, sharp terminals in glyphs like “S”, “C”, and “З”, which contrast with the overall geometric quality of the forms, and noticeably dynamic proportions. It is also curious that we designed different diacritical marks for wide and narrow characters.
Due to stylistic sets, the mood and visual features of the font may transform dramatically: you can make it look more strict and dynamic or, in contrast, rounded and fluid. In addition, the typeface includes a variable font with a weight variation axis. This makes the mood of TT Gertika even easier to adapt to your needs.
TT Gertika is well-suited for accent placement and shines best in large point sizes. However, it works well enough in small text blocks as well. This font is an excellent choice for covers of books and magazines dedicated to art. It can effortlessly adorn the exhibition environment and blend harmoniously with brand identities inspired by folklore and works from the primitivist genre.
TT Gertika includes:
- 4 font styles: 3 roman and one variable font;
- 922 characters in each font style;
- 4 stylistic sets;
- 28 OpenType features;
- 230+ supported languages.
