Meet the new font in the TypeType collection—the luxurious TT Quaris, where elegance, mystery, and audacity converge.
TT Quaris is an exquisite and modern high-contrast sans. Before developing this typeface, we carried out an in-depth study of high-contrast sans archetypes. Based on our findings, we formulated the key parameters and stylistic features of the future font, after which we began its development. The creation of the family took over two years and 2,500 hours of painstaking work. The result is a graceful, yet fresh and unconventional typeface. Its design features modern elements: a lack of stem flaring, high contrast, and a static structure.
TT Quaris is a balance of soft and sharp. The name alludes to smooth precious stones that can be given sharp edges when cut. For instance, the character shapes are fluid and tend towards roundness, yet there are sharp elements—the apex of the “t”, geometric details, and diamond-shaped punctuation marks. The typeface’s key feature is a “spiky” stylistic set with sharp spurs and spikes on the letters. With its help, you can radically change the font’s character, transforming it from refined and noble to daring and provocative.
We paid special attention to the italics, adding true italic forms, which are particularly prominent in the Cyrillic set. The italic font styles are slightly lighter and noticeably narrower than the uprights: this approach is a nod to classic italics, however, in TT Quaris, they look current and modern.
The typeface’s capabilities are expanded by two variable fonts (upright and italic), which change along the weight axis. Additionally, your designs can be enhanced with a set of icons related to the medieval themes of knighthood and romanticism: among them, you will find ornamental patterns and stained glass windows from Gothic cathedrals.
TT Quaris fits perfectly into the identity of a jewelry brand, can be used on cosmetics and perfume packaging, will look harmonious in the design of exhibitions and museum navigation, on the covers of glossy publications, and in the menus of bars and restaurants.
TT Quaris includes:
- 14 styles: 6 uprights, 6 italics, and 2 variable fonts
- 1,015 glyphs in the upright styles and 1,003 glyphs in the italics
- 29 OpenType features
- Support for over 230 languages
TT Quaris — a true diamond in the world of type!
