Introducing our new, super expressive TT Modernoir!

TT Modernoir is a display sans serif with dynamic proportions. Fluid lines and delicate Art Nouveau forms in this typeface blend seamlessly with the rhythmic flow and improvisational freedom of jazz. To design this font, we drew inspiration from the French typography of the XXth century and noir film aesthetics, which is reflected in its name.

The key feature of TT Modernoir is a significant proportion difference between square and oval characters: the square ones are extremely narrow, and the ovals are very wide. The curved letter legs give the font an exquisite look, and the dynamic swirls infuse it with the feeling of musical rhythm and movement.

The typeface doesn’t feature lowercase characters, but we included small caps to highlight prepositions, short words, and other text elements. To make the typesetting look more balanced, the stylistic set with narrow proportions for the oval characters can be used. On the contrary, the set with underlined glyphs will increase the level of expressiveness where it’s needed. The typeface also includes the so-called «curly set» with swirls in the letters «S» and «Z» and curved legs in «R» and «Я.»

A small icon set can enhance your design, offering distinctive black cats, heart-tipped arrows, and musical notes. Useful OpenType features and a variable font with a weight variation axis allow the typeface to adapt to a wide variety of tasks.

TT Modernoir shines best in large point sizes. It shines best on posters, signage, packaging, book and magazine covers, as well as in branding and logos.
