#10 TT Travels Next by TypeType
Q1: Where did the idea for the typeface come from? Did you set out to address a specific use or suite of the application? Was this a design you’d had in mind for a while?
Ans: I gave myself the task to rethink the original TT Travels font family, make it more modern and fashionable, while adding a display look and brightness to the design. I was inspired by the letter a from in original TT Travels, as it has a bright character and an interesting plasticity, which I wanted to build on. The process of creating the design went quite fast. The most difficult part for me was to determine the direction of work. I had so many ideas and thoughts, I had to limit my imagination.
Q2: What is the one or two most important things graphic communicators should know about the typeface, or how will the family of fonts help them create better design?
Ans: The important thing to remember when using TT Travels Next is that it is a display typeface that looks good in medium to large sizes and should not be used for setting blocks of small text. It is best to use TT Travels to create bold accents, adding it here and there in your project. The typeface can be ideal for large headlines, posters and exhibition design, where noticeable attention-grabbing letters are needed. It is also a good choice for packaging design, because the shape of the glyphs are conducive to experimenting with materials.
