TT Modernoir is a display sans serif with dynamic proportions. Fluid lines and delicate Art Nouveau forms in this typeface blend seamlessly with the rhythmic flow and improvisational freedom of jazz. To design this font, we drew inspiration from the French typography of the XXth century and noir film aesthetics, which is reflected in its name. The key feature of TT Modernoir is a significant proportion difference between square and oval characters: the square ones are extremely narrow, and the ovals are very wide. The curved letter legs give the font an exquisite look, and the dynamic swirls infuse it with the feeling of musical rhythm and movement. The typeface doesn’t feature lowercase characters, but we included small caps to highlight prepositions, short words, and other text elements. To make the typesetting look more balanced, the stylistic set with narrow proportions for the oval characters can be used. On the contrary, the set with underlined glyphs will increase the level of expressiveness where it’s needed.
