The typeface is inspired by the pre-digital font «De Vinne», which was designed in 1892 by the designer Gustav F. Schroeder. We liked certain aspects of the historical prototype, but at the same time, when creating TT Ricks, we did not want to limit ourselves—on the contrary, we were eager to discover a completely new spirit and bring bright details to the font.

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

TT Ricks Bold + TT Commons™ Pro Regular

Choosing Combinations for Brand Personality

Typography contributes strongly to how a brand feels: precise, approachable, premium, energetic, traditional, or unconventional. When choosing complementary fonts, start with the personality the project needs to communicate. One typeface can establish the main character while the second brings balance and functionality. Test the combination across several touchpoints to make sure it supports the wider identity rather than only one individual layout. A strong system should remain recognizable across websites, campaigns, packaging, presentations, and other brand materials without becoming visually repetitive.

Why Readability Matters When Combining Typefaces

Strong font pairings should improve the way information is understood, not simply make a layout more decorative. An expressive headline style can attract attention, while the supporting typeface should remain comfortable in longer text, captions, or interface elements. Check spacing, character differentiation, and performance at smaller sizes so that visual contrast supports hierarchy without creating unnecessary reading friction. This becomes especially important in content-heavy layouts, where users need to move quickly between headlines, details, labels, and longer passages of information.

Testing Combinations with Real Project Content

Generic samples are useful for early exploration, but final decisions should be made with actual content. Test brand names, headlines, paragraphs, numbers, navigation labels, and other elements at realistic sizes. If you start with curated recommendations or a font pairing generator, replace the sample copy early. This helps reveal whether the combination works not only visually, but also in hierarchy, readability, and tone. Real content can also expose spacing issues, awkward word shapes, or differences in rhythm that may not appear in short specimen phrases.
