TT Ricks

About font family

Introducing TT Ricks in its fresh rendition—now supporting Cyrillic alphabets!

The updated typeface now boasts a more extensive character set, enhanced kerning and hinting, and new OpenType features with stylistic sets.

TT Ricks is an expressive serif with an edgy temperament. The typeface is inspired by the pre-digital font De Vinne, designed in 1892 by Gustav F. Schroeder. When creating TT Ricks, we decided to keep certain aspects of the historical prototype. However, we aimed to break free from any constraints, find a completely new personality for the font, and bring fresh, lively features to its design.

TT Ricks stands out for its high contrast, extremely dense spacing, narrow letterforms, and unusual serifs resembling thorns. The typeface has many peculiar details, like a diagonal axis of ovals in rounded characters (c, e, s), distinctive lowercase characters in Latin alphabets, or asymmetrical descending elements in the letters Дд and Цц. This is an “angry” serif, which sometimes mellows its bold attitude: its regular font style is sharp and spiky, but the bold one is more sturdy and solid, with Gothic traits.

In the updated typeface version, we completely redesigned kerning and refined hinting. We added Cyrillic alphabets and extended the existing Latin ones. The basic currency symbol set grew, and we designed minuscule currency symbols, including tabular versions for both lettercases. We implemented fractions and figures for numerators and denominators and added circled figures. Besides, TT Ricks, version 2.000, features new stylistic sets for Cyrillic alphabets, and its large set of original icons broadens the typeface’s application range and brings out its personality even more.

TT Ricks shines brightest in medium and large point sizes, attracting the maximum attention. This typeface is ideally suited for packaging or poster design and book graphics.

The updated TT Ricks includes:

  • 4 font styles: 3 roman and one variable font;
  • 1009 glyphs in each font style;
  • 31 OpenType features, counting in the possibility to use alternate characters and additional symbols;
  • 230+ languages support and localization options for Bulgarian, Serbian, Chuvash, and Bashkir.

Ideal font pairs with TT Ricks

What is a font pair, and what does it serve for?

A font pair is a combination of two fonts within one text block. Most often, one of the fonts in a pair is a more expressive headline font, and the other one serves to communicate information. Such fonts complement each other and help designers solve various tasks, like highlighting key elements, adding emotional expressiveness to the project, or separating semantic blocks.

How to choose fonts for a project: Several general recommendations

To begin with, establish the project's tone. Choose the fonts that stylistically match the main idea. After that, you need to determine the functions of each font in the project and their hierarchy: which font will complement the design and which one will serve to attract attention as the main element. You need to assess the difference between the fonts and decide what kind of information each of them should convey. First, we recommend choosing the base font you will use most, and then you can find a suitable pair for it.

Core principles of font pairing and recommendations from designers

The main rule you should follow when matching two fonts is that both similarities and differences must be visible between them. You can highlight the coherence of fonts by the following characteristics: contrast, proportions, width, openness of characters, individual letter shapes, and overall tone. Feel free to experiment with different combinations. We also recommend analyzing the projects you like: this way, you can enhance your visual skills, elevate your knowledge base, and gain confidence in dealing with typography.
