TT Norms Pro vs Crossten Soft
Two commercial geometric sans-serifs at opposite ends of the market. TT Norms Pro is TypeType's flagship, a geometric sans with a humanist undertone that has grown into a 104-style system since its 2017 debut, while Crossten Soft is a compact 20-style family by Turkish designer Emre Güven, released in 2020 as a companion to his earlier Crossten.
