Correspondence (.ttf)

FF Fago goes professional with its two Correspondence members, Sans and Serif, made with the needs of the business world in mind. The proportions and robust, screen-friendly letterforms are adjusted for clear communication. To meet the standards and limitations of the office environment, tabular figures and an open italic ‘a’ are standard, and ligatures were removed.

FF Suhmo draws inspiration from classic slab serif types, particularly those used as and derived from typewriter faces, like Courier and American Typewriter. Designer Alex Rütten took influence from these and several other sources when creating FF Suhmo, like the neon-lettering typical of old Italian restaurants across Germany for instance. The design has short ascenders and descenders, a large... Read More

FF Typestar, from Steffen Sauerteig, part of the eBoy design collective, is one of the most sophisticated typewriter-inspired fonts in the FontFont library. Although FF Typestar is essentially a geometric typeface, it is still subtly refined. The small system includes two families. The first is a typical font quartet: regular, italic, black, and black italic. These offer everything needed for... Read More

FF Info is named after its purpose: the transfer of information. Its clean lines make no fashion statements, nor do they attempt any technical wizardry. The typeface was initially intended for use on traffic signage,and other wayfinding systems in stations, on buildings, etc. Because space comes at a premium in such situations, FF Info Display is drawn narrow; It requires 15% less space than...

Seeing the possibility of creating a Meta for everyday office use (instead of a specialized tool for graphic designers), Erik Spiekermann expanded the family with this function in mind. The oldstyle figures were replaced with default tabular lining ones and the overall spacing was loosened for better reproduction on a wider variety of screens, printers, copiers, and fax machines. In 2012... Read More

FF Nuvo is a contemporary sans with a slight contrast. Certain characters have a calligraphic touch, especially a, g and y. The typeface offers several alternate characters that may be substituted – for example: a, g, k, s, y – for additional typographic range in text. Designer Siegfried Rückel developed the concept for FF Nuvo during a stay in Paris, after being inspired by the extravagant... Read More

FF Signa is a characteristically Danish design, rooted in architectural lettering rather than book typography. Originally created for signage—hence the name—FF Signa is now a typographic family with three widths. All weights include italics, small caps, and several styles of figures. Because of the quality of this “vernacular-lettering-turned-typeface” conversion, FF Signa received a Danish... Read More

FF Zwo started as a constructivist concept, which was abandoned over time in favor of something more functional. Its final resulting forms create a legible and clear face, rigid and sturdy, but with a decidedly contemporary handling. The design spreads out over eight weights, each with italics and small caps. Single-story “a” and “g” alternates are included, as well as stemless “u.” A... Read More

The premise for FF Ernestine came from the search for a versatile monolinear text face whose design could transmit seemingly opposite feelings. Its designer, Nina Stössinger, hoped to develop a solution that would feel inviting, but also serious; somewhat feminine, but not too swirly-girly – at once both charming and sturdy. The design’s rather large x-height and wide, open shapes allow it to... Read More
