NurullinTT Firs Neue is a contemporary reincarnation of the good old Scandinavian TT Firs sans-serif. In the procedure of upgrading the old typeface, we understood that the number of innovations and the amount of work done absolutely should have a full-fledged brand-new release, and therefore TT Firs Neue has actually come to life.
What has changed? Whatever, beginning from the proportions of letters and ending with a new formula for the interpolation of weights! So, we altered the percentages of uppercase and lowercase characters; fixed the distinction in weight in between the letters in fonts of different weights. We altered the basic densities of the strokes so that none of their 18 fonts would stand apart with their weight and would be completed following a rigorous system. We produced entirely brand-new Italics. And, of course, we made modifications directly to the style of the typeface and its letters-- the letters have actually ended up being fresher and cleaner from the geometric point of view.
The most intriguing change in the font is the significant extension of its scope. While the old type household was mainly concentrated on display matters-- that is, large short engravings, the brand-new version suggests active use of the typeface in the text and on the web. With all this, the typeface's character has actually not been weakened, however has even acquired some more strength. This can be completely seen in the radical extenders of the letters gltf, or in the super-display visual compensators for horizontal strokes in the vibrant weights of the typeface. Despite the fact that the standard screen of TT Firs Neue has actually become brighter and more audacious, you can always soothe it down a little by simply turning on stylistic alternates.
And that is not all! And how about little capitals, and other OpenType features, you ask? In TT Firs Neue, you will discover little caps (for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets) and a set of stylistic alternates. In addition to the "basic ligatures", in TT Firs Neue you can find a great deal of initial ligatures (30 products) for capital letters, which cover popular 2- and three-letter high-frequency combinations from Scandinavian languages. In addition, to support the linguistic functions of Scandinavian nations, we prepared a set of capital letters with pinned-down diacritics (including their little capital versions). To access this function, you need to use the calt feature (contextual alternates), or allow the second stylistic set (ss02) in InDesign. Which's not all, there are a lot of beneficial features in TT Firs Neue, such as: ordn, case, c2sc, smcp, ccmp, frac, sinf, sups, numr, dnom, tnum, onum, lnum, pnum, dlig, liga, salt (ss01), ss02, locl, calt.
