Meet TT Neoris Pro version 2.000—now with support for Greek, Arabic, and Vietnamese!
TT Neoris Pro is a concise neo-grotesque for universal use. We developed this font family over two and a half years. First, we carefully studied the market and conducted extensive research on the topic of the „perfect grotesque.“ Then, drawing on those results, we set a goal: to create a neo-grotesque with a neutral character, basic and easy to use, yet original, contemporary, and fresh.
This is exactly how TT Neoris Pro turned out: simple and expressive, universal and functional. It is also versatile and multi-faceted. Thanks to a large number of options, this single font can replace several at once, changing its mood and character.
We paid special attention to details to bring the font closer to the ideal. We made the proportions of the italic styles slightly narrower than the uprights, and added a stylistic set with true italic forms for Cyrillic—its design honors the tradition of Cyrillic calligraphy. We ensured that the boldest font style has the same serious character as the regular one. We also added support for all Cyrillic-based languages with over a million speakers.
The main update in version 2.000 is the addition of Greek and Vietnamese, as well as a font based on the Arabic alphabet. All forms look emphatically neutral and contemporary. For the Arabic version, we chose a hybrid of the Kufi and Naskh styles—it is a modern take on the Arabic script with rather simple and minimalistic graphics, but with subtle humanist touches noticeable in the terminals and connections. The standout feature is the diamond-shaped dots in all diacritics, which can be swapped for round ones using a stylistic set.
We also added the dirham and dong currency symbols in all cases, and updated the kerning and hinting.
TT Neoris Pro 2.000 includes:
- 21 styles: 10 uprights, 10 italics, and 1 variable font that changes along the weight and slant axes
- 2,534 glyphs per style
- 45 OpenType features
