TT Mussels Font

Publisher: Typetype

TT Mussels is a sans serif and stencil font household. This typeface has thirty-six designs and was released by Typetype.

The TT Mussels font style household is the follower of such popular fonts as Bender and TT Squares. At the same time, TT Mussels has a number of basic distinctions that make it a special typeface household that stands apart from other octagonal typefaces.

When developing TT Mussels, we paid terrific attention to the possibility of imposing large ranges of text, and we can responsibly specify that TT Mussels is an uncommon kind of technological text typefaces. To support the rest, we've created a stencil variation of the typeface, in which the place of the cuts modifications according to their thickness.

In total, the TT Mussels typeface family includes 36 faces, that include to name a few things stylistic options, ligatures, and likewise executes a broad assistance for OpenType features: case, frac, ordn, sups, sinf, numr, dnom, onum, tnum, pnum, liga, dlig, salt (aka ss01).

Dynamic contrast is commonly implemented in TT Mussels. It is most noticeable in the Black typeface, where the ratio of the density of the vertical strokes to the horizontal strokes is roughly 2 to one. For the Thin typeface, the density of the vertical strokes is already constant with the density of the horizontal strokes.

You can also find other indications of regard for standard text fonts in the TT Mussels design, such as the trace of pen movement which is historically normal for Antiquas. For example, in the letter M from the Black face, we can initially see a thin stroke, then a thick diagonal stroke followed by a thin diagonal stroke, and a completing strong vertical stroke. As when it comes to dynamic contrast, this impact gradually disappears when approaching thin faces.

In thick faces, in places such as the "armpits" of the letters MNИ or the junctions of the diagonals of WVvw, there are visual compensators that brighten the strong typefaces. As the thickness of typefaces relocations from thick to thin, the dimensions and conceptual values of compensators change, and in thin typefaces they totally disappear.
