TT Firs Text
TypeType released TT Firs Text in 2023. Marina Khodak and the TypeType Team designed it as the reading companion to TT Firs Neue, which the foundry updated the same year. It is a geometric sans with a Nordic character. The team made the display face more neutral and redrew its more expressive details to be softer and more traditional. The result is an even texture that stays legible in long passages and at small sizes. Optional alternates include a single-storey a, a serifed I and a y with a squared terminal. These free typefaces cover the same calm geometric text territory without the license fee.

Letters that hold their nerve
The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.

Pages that earn the read
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.
