The TTย Marxiana project started inย the late summer ofย 2018 and from the very beginning went beyond the traditional projects ofย TypeType because ofย the importance ofย preserving the historical identity. Since upย toย this point, weย had never before reconstructed the font from historical paper sources and with such aย level ofย elaboration and attention toย detail, itย tookย us two years toย implement this project. You can read more about all stages ofย the projectย inย our blog, and here weย will briefly talk about the result.
TTย Marxiana Antiqua isย aย scotch style serif, the drawing ofย which carefully preserved some ofย the artifacts obtained byย printing, namely dot gain, aย slight deformation ofย the letters and other visual nuances. TTย Marxiana Antiqua has anย interesting stylistic set that imitates the old setting and inย which some ofย the signs are made with deliberate sticking orย roughness. Using this set will provide anย opportunity toย further simulate the setting ofย that great time.
TTย Marxiana Grotesque isย aย rather thick and bold old grotesk. Its drawing also maximally preserved the defects obtained during printing and characteristic ofย its paper reference. Inย addition toย pre-revolutionary spelling, TTย Marxiana Grotesque has aย decorative set with anย inversion. This isย aย set ofย uppercase characters, numbers and punctuation, which allows you toย type inverse headers, i.e. print white onย black. Asย aย result ofย using this set, you get the text against black barsโthis way ofย displaying was very characteristic for print advertising atย the turn ofย the century. Inย addition, about 30ย decorative indicator stubs were drawn for this set: arrows, hands, clubs, etc.
TTย Marxiana Elzevir isย aย title orย header font and isย aย compilation ofย monastic Elzevir that were actively used inย the ยซNivaยป magazine for all its prints. Unlike the antiqua, TTย Marxiana Elzevir has sharper forms, and the influence ofย deformations from typographic printing isย not asย noticeable inย the forms ofย its signs. This isย primarily due toย the specifics ofย its drawing and the fact that itย was usually used asย aย heading font and was printed inย large sizes. The height ofย the lowercase and uppercase characters ofย Elsevier isย the same asย the heights ofย the antiqua, but the font isย more contrasting and lighter, itย has aย lot ofย white and, unlike the antiqua and the grotesque, there are aย lot ofย sharp corners. Anย exclusive feature ofย the TTย Marxiana Elzevir isย anย alternative set ofย uppercase characters with swash.
