TT Commons is a universal sans serif with a very little contrast of strokes, a closed aperture and geometric shapes of characters. The style of the typeface was developed for the widest possible variety of tasks with which any quality business font is required to cope.
The history of TT Commons stems from the new TypeType logo design, which appeared in late 2016 as part of the rebranding task. Ideas embedded in the logo design formed the basis of 2 completely established faces (regular and medium), which in early 2017 ended up being the main business typeface of the TypeType Foundry.
Initially, we did not strategy to launch TT Commons for sale, however provided the number of inbound demands, we altered our decision. At the same time, we have actually substantially enhanced the typeface: we increased the number of faces to 18, included little capitals for the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, broadened the character case to 771 glyphs, introduced 18 OpenType functions, and consisted of experimental hinting performed at our studio by our team.
Low contrast strokes and balanced drawing of letters makes TT Commons outstanding for large ranges of text. On the other hand, an individually established design of each glyph makes it possible to use it successfully as a display typeface. The typeface deliberately does not have distinct decorative information. On the contrary, it wins hearts with his laconism, simplicity and sharpness of forms, which set the seasoned business style for several years to come.
The name TT Commons originates from the word 'typical' (widely accepted, typical, regular)- this typeface can be used for any everyday jobs connected to typography. And small capitals, stylistic alternates, ligatures, arrows, different kinds of figures and other features (ordn, frac, case, c2sc, smcp, sinf, sups, numr, dnom, tnum, onum, lnum, pnum, liga, dlig, calt, salt, ss01) add substantial performance. If you are in doubt about which typeface to choose, pick TT Commons, it will absolutely work.
