Introducing TT Ricordi Greto version 2.000—a contemporary Florentine sans serif that bridges historical elegance with modern typography!
We’ve expanded the character set, added new features, alternate forms, and extended language support to enhance your creative possibilities.
TT Ricordi Greto is the brainchild of designer Ksenia Karataeva and marks the fifth release in our distinctive TT Ricordi collection. This unique series rediscovers typographic treasures from ancient inscriptions on plaques and stones, revitalizing them as contemporary typefaces for today’s designers.
Inspired by a 1423 floor inscription in Florence’s Basilica di Santa Croce, TT Ricordi Greto strikes a perfect balance between trendy modern aesthetics and authentic historical details. The result is a typeface where Renaissance character meets contemporary design sensibilities.
As a low-contrast Florentine sans serif with dynamic proportions, TT Ricordi Greto stands as the only sans serif in the otherwise serif-dominated TT Ricordi family. It retains subtle hints of serifs that nod to its historical origins while featuring closed apertures, dynamic proportions, and fluid terminals with distinctive curling and flaring stroke ends.
The typeface comes with an extensive collection of graphic icons (characters and objects), dingbats (flowers, stars, and teardrops), and thirteen catchwords. Each element has been meticulously crafted to complement the typeface’s distinctive visual rhythm.
With this update, we’ve significantly expanded the character set. Specifically, we’ve added fully-developed lowercase characters (lowercase characters from the previous version can now be found in the small caps set), supplemented the extended Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, expanded the basic currency set, added numbers and currencies for numerators/denominators, oldstyle and oldstyle tabular figures, fractions, and double ligatures for all forms of “ДД” and “дд.” We’ve also added new OpenType features, language support, and stylistic sets—particularly alternative forms of “Kk,” “R,” “Кк,” “Жж,” “Яя” with straight legs.
This is a display font that looks contemporary and attracts attention. It’s perfect for magazine covers, product packaging, signage, posters, and billboards, as well as for branding and web use.
TT Ricordi Greto version 2.000 includes:
- 4 styles: 3 upright and 1 variable font that changes along the weight axis
- 1,365 glyphs in each style
- 32 OpenType features
- 13 stylistic sets
- Support for over 230 languages
TT Ricordi Greto—Florence’s timeless beauty captured in type!
