TT Ricks Font Family

TT Ricks Font Family is a display serif font that embraces classic modern vibes and look elegant. The typeface is inspired by the pre-digital font De Vinne, designed in 1892 by Gustav F. Schroeder. When creating TT Ricks, we decided to keep certain aspects of the historical prototype. However, we aimed to break free from any constraints, find a completely new personality for the font, and bring fresh, lively features to its design.

TT Ricks stands out for its high contrast, extremely dense spacing, narrow letterforms, and unusual serifs resembling thorns. The typeface has many peculiar details, like a diagonal axis of ovals in rounded characters (c, e, s), distinctive lowercase characters in Latin alphabets, or asymmetrical descending elements in the letters Дд and Цц. This is an “angry” serif, which sometimes mellows its bold attitude: its regular font style is sharp and spiky, but the bold one is more sturdy and solid, with Gothic traits.

In the updated typeface version, we completely redesigned kerning and refined hinting. We added Cyrillic alphabets and extended the existing Latin ones. The basic currency symbol set grew, and we designed minuscule currency symbols, including tabular versions for both lettercases. We implemented fractions and figures for numerators and denominators and added circled figures. Besides, TT Ricks, version 2.000, features new stylistic sets for Cyrillic alphabets, and its large set of original icons broadens the typeface’s application range and brings out its personality even more.

TT Ricks shines brightest in medium and large point sizes, attracting the maximum attention. This typeface is ideally suited for packaging or poster design and book graphics.
