TT Ricordi Allegria

TT Ricordi Allegria continues developing the interesting and challenging task of finding visual gems of the past and rethinking them from the perspective of contemporary font requirements. TT Ricordi Allegria is a sleek and intelligent contemporary Florentine grotesque inspired by the half-erased lettering in Basilica di Santa Croce, Florence. TT Ricordi Allegria was drawn by Antonina Zhulkova and reflects in its graphics the transitional stage between the classic serif with varying proportions, gravitating towards the Roman capital type, and the Florentine sans serif. The font is characterized by variability in the proportions of characters, contrast between strokes, wedge-shaped triangular characters, and the absence of traditional serifs. The main visual feature of the typeface is its diversity and the ability, using different stylistic sets, to completely change the character and perception of the typeface. The drawing of the characters from the main set is strict, thanks to which the font looks stern, as if the inscription in the font was really carved out of stone. And with the help of another set, we can add roundness, or even smoothness, to the font. This is due to the fact that the letters E R K Q J Y in Latin, and in Cyrillic from the second set have either very noticeable "curls" or smooth, rounded "legs". In addition, the typeface includes a set of beautiful ligatures for use in display inscriptions, such as large headlines. An interesting moment when working on the typeface was the creation of the Cyrillic typeset, since the Cyrillic alphabet does not so easily fit into the concept of the Florentine grotesque and stressed semi-serif. The most difficult thing in working on the Cyrillic alphabet was to create a system of spacing for characters, as it was done in the Latin alphabet, and to make sure that when typing in Cyrillic, the drawing of the text remained beautiful. That is why the letters appearing in the font family are somewhat unusual to the eye, and the proportions of other characters in Cyrillic are not quite classic either. In general, the Cyrillic set looks more display than its Latin prototype, but at the same time it lacks the sense of historicity or legacy of the Soviet past, which often comes to the foreground when working on the design of the Cyrillic alphabet in this type of serifs. TT Ricordi Allegria consists of two weights Regular and Bold and one variable font. Each style includes over 750 characters, as well as 19 OpenType features. Interesting features of the typeface include three stylistic sets that greatly change the perception of the font, a set of bright display ligatures, a few neat icons that are suitable for breaking text and will emphasize the visual language of the font. --- Especially for TT Ricordi Allegria font family we've prepared a type specimen which can be downloaded herehttps://typetype.org/wp-content/uploads/tt_ricordi_allegria_specimen.pdf --- TT Ricordi Allegria language support: Acehnese, Afar, Albanian , Aleut lat , Alsatian, Aragonese, Arumanian , Asu, Aymara, Azerbaijani , Banjar, Basque , Belarusian lat , Bemba, Bena, Betawi, Bislama , Boholano , Bosnian lat , Breton , Catalan , Cebuano , Chamorro , Chichewa, Chiga, Colognian , Cornish, Corsican , Cree, Croatian, Czech , Danish, Dutch , Embu, English , Esperanto, Estonian , Faroese , Fijian, Filipino , Finnish, French, Frisian, Friulian , Gaelic, Gagauz lat , Galician , Ganda, German , Gikuyu, Guarani, Gusii, Haitian Creole, Hawaiian, Hiri Motu, Hungarian , Icelandic , Ilocano, Indonesian , Innu-aimun, Interlingua, Irish, Italian , Javanese, Jola-Fonyi, Judaeo-Spanish, Kabuverdianu, Kalenjin, Kamba, Karachay-Balkar lat , Karaim lat , Karakalpak lat , Karelian, Kashubian, Kazakh lat , Khasi, Kikuyu, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Kongo, Kurdish lat , Ladin, Latvian, Leonese, Lithuanian , Livvi-Karelian, Luba-Kasai, Ludic, Luganda , Luo, Luxembourgish , Luyia, Machame, Makhuwa-Meetto, Makonde, Malagasy, Malay , Maltese, Manx, Maori, Marshallese, Mauritian Creole, Meru, Minangkabau , Moldavian lat , Montenegrin lat , Morisyen, Nahuatl, Nauruan, Ndebele, Nias, Norwegian, Nyankole, Occitan, Oromo, Palauan, Polish , Portuguese , Quechua , Rheto-Romance, Rohingya, Romanian , Romansh , Rombo, Rundi, Rwa, Salar, Samburu, Samoan, Sango, Sangu, Sasak, Scots, Sena, Serbian lat , Seychellois Creole, Shambala, Shona, Silesian, Slovak , Slovenian , Soga, Somali, Sorbian, Sotho , Spanish , Sundanese, Swahili, Swazi, Swedish , Swiss, German , Tagalog , Tahitian, Taita, Talysh lat , Tatar , Teso, Tetum, Tok Pisin, Tongan , Tsakhur Azerbaijan , Tsonga, Tswana , Turkish , Turkmen lat , Uyghur, Valencian , Vastese, Vepsian, Volapk, Vro, Vunjo, Walloon, Walser , Welsh , Wolof, Xhosa, Zaza, Zulu , Belarusian cyr , Bosnian cyr , Bulgarian cyr , Erzya, Karachay-Balkar cyr , Khvarshi, Kumyk, Macedonian , Montenegrin cyr , Mordvin-moksha, Nogai, Russian , Rusyn, Serbian cyr , Ukrainian. --- Haven't you found what you've been looki
