TT Hoves is the youngest font in the collection of universal geometric sans serifs<\/a>. It forms a functional trio with TT Norms<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup> and TT Commons<\/a>\u2122, yet has its own recognizable character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TT Hoves font has managed to win the sympathy of designers from all over the world. The font family has been among the studio\u2019s bestsellers since its release on marketplaces, and yet it\u2019s time to update the typeface!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for those who love the character of TT Hoves, the visuals of the new font are largely unchanged, although the new font differs in many ways from the first version. We have added new widths, corrected the shape of terminals and ascenders and descenders, and added new technical content. This is thanks to the fact that over the past four years, the TypeType studio\u2019s skills and font knowledge have increased, and we applied them to the creation of TT Hoves Pro<\/a>, making the font even more modern and convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creation of TT Hoves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea to create a Scandinavian sans serif, which later received the name TT Hoves, came to TypeType in 2018. We wanted the new typeface to be simple, yet recognizable and original. At that time, the studio had already released the universal TT Norms\u00ae<\/sup> and TT Commons\u2122, so the studio\u2019s plans included a typeface that could expand to the collection of functional sans serifs. The name TT Hoves is formed from two words, horizontals and verticals, to emphasize the predominance of vertical and horizontal strokes in the font design. TT Hoves is a sans serif that lacks pronounced contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first sketches were a visual embodiment of thoughts about a neutral sans serif that could become a convenient tool for designers. The first character set was drawn in 2018 using Adobe Illustrator. Despite the fact that many details changed after further iterations, the nature of the future typeface was already discernible. In the first version, the glyphs\u2019 uppercase character height was 700 points, and the lowercase character height was 500 font points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work began with the Regular and Black styles, on which we tested the set making adjustments. For example, we increased the initial height settings for lowercase glyphs by 20 points, resulting in a height of 520 points. We also increased the thickness of the stems to make the font look harmonious, and changed the shape of some glyphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
