TT Tricks

About font family

Introducing TT Tricks, version 2.000! We improved this modest serif by amplifying its character set, adding more supported languages, new OpenType features, and variable fonts, and enhancing its visual and technical characteristics.

TT Tricks is a modern text serif with a design reflecting the style of Transitional serifs. This font has a calm, elegant, and moderately stern character. It stands out for its relatively low stroke contrast, large serifs, narrowed proportions, and slightly squared forms of round characters. All these visual aspects give the font a distinctly formal tone.

After the update, the font became calmer and less expressive, which made it more suitable for running text. Consequently, its application range has expanded. Besides, we introduced 11 new stylistic sets and two variable fonts with a weight variation axis: one for roman styles and the other for italics.

The 2.000 version also acquired new font styles: Thin, Thin Italic, ExtraLight, ExtraLight Italic, Medium, Medium Italic. We refined all contours, modified the form of serifs, and redesigned italic font styles. The typeface now has 12 more OpenType features and more supported languages, including Cyrillic-based ones. We improved kerning and enhanced hinting. The character set was significantly expanded. In particular, we completed the extended Cyrillic character set, amplified the Latin one, added more basic currency symbols, and implemented fractions, numerators, and denominators.

TT Tricks is a genuine classic: it looks modest but highly relevant. Due to this appearance, the font has an extensive application range. TT Tricks unveils a totally different potential depending on the context in which it is used. It has excellent readability in small point sizes and exhibits expressive details in large point sizes, looking very aesthetic.

The updated TT Tricks includes:

  • 20 font styles: 9 roman, 9 italic, and 2 variable fonts;
  • 866 characters in roman font styles and 858 characters in italic font styles;
  • 29 OpenType features;
  • 230+ languages support.

TT Tricks is a businesswoman of the serif world: determined, modern, and elegant!

The first version of TT Tricks was introduced in 2018. For 6 years, we have been exploring the use cases of this typeface, and in 2023, we began considering improvements to our serif. As a result, we opted out of the stencil version of the font, redesigned the serif forms, added new thin font styles, and also significantly amplified the character set. We also added more elegant and self-sufficient cursive.

The TT Tricks typeface stands out for its low contrast, slightly squared forms of rounded characters, and emphasized businesslike nature. The initial idea of the typeface is based on Sofia Yasenkova’s graduation thesis, which centered on creating a typeface for daily planners.

Ideal font pairs with TT Tricks

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.
