TT Lakes Neue is a simple and functional sans-serif that draws inspiration from Finnish signs of the functionalism era. Despite the general resemblance to the once popular TT Lakes typeface, TT Lakes Neue is a typeface of a completely different level: it features a much more mature approach to design, working with details and to its functionality and variability. We can safely say that using TT Lakes Neue in your work is like wearing classic jeans—they suit everyone and meet any life challenge.

We started work on TT Lakes Neue by revising the width palette and increasing their number to five width: Compressed, Condensed, Regular, Extended, Expanded. Within each of these 5 widths, we revised the distribution of thicknesses and made this distribution more harmonious. Within each of the styles, we corrected the proportions of the characters (for example, E, M), changed the shapes of the characters (for example, S, R, K, Л) and redrew each character anew. For letters with semi-ovals, we completely changed the location of inflows, which now correspond to the logic of pen writing.

We added massive visual compensators in the boldest styles from the narrowest widths of TT Lakes Neue—this is done in order to preserve as much internal white as possible in the characters and maintain their readability. In addition to forced compensation in the boldest styles, TT Lakes Neue is a maximally non-contrasting sans-serif, with ovals in the form of rounded rectangles. All external corners of the glyphs were also rounded. Thanks to the relatively wide characters (for example, f, t, r, s, г, т), the proportions of TT Lakes Neue tend to be of equal width.

TT Lakes Neue Variable is the quintessence of the entire font family, but it can offer much more functionality. Like in TT Octosquares Variable and TT Supermolot Neue Variable, in TT Lakes Neue, the font variability can be simultaneously adjusted along three axes of variability: weight, width and slant, which gives unlimited possibilities in functionality and user settings. To use the variable font with three variable axes on Mac you will need MacOS 10.14 or higher. For other software and browsers, you can check the support status here:
Lakes Neue includes 5 subfamilies: Compressed, Condensed, Regular, Extended, Expanded. Each of the subfamilies consists of 9 upright and 9 oblique styles, which in total amounts to incredible 90 faces + 2 outline styles + 1 variable font. Unlike its predecessor, each style of the new TT Lakes Neue consists of 736 glyphs and 28 OpenType features. TT Lakes Neue has stylistic alternates and ligatures, old-style figures, slashed zero, two sets of numbers in circles, arrows, and other useful features, such as aalt, ccmp. locl, subs, sinf, sups, numr, dnom, frac, ordn, lnum, onum, case, dlig, liga, calt, salt, zero, ss01, ss02, ss03, ss04, ss05, ss06, ss07, ss08, ss09, ss10.

TT Lakes Neue in version 2.0!

We have released a continuation of the geometric sans serif inspired by Finnish functionalism. The new version provides more opportunities, because we not only increased the character set and improved the font technically, but also reworked its visual character.

What changed?

Font character.

TT Lakes Neue 2.0 has become calmer, as we have removed the display details in the characters of the main set, making the font more versatile. New stylistic sets were created, thanks to which the nature of the font can be controlled, making it more expressive.

- Changed the forms of the characters "Кк", "ЖЖ", "Дд", "Лл", lowercase "b" and alternative "g".

- Added alternative forms for all types of the number "1", for the characters "Mm", "DD", "Ll".

- Added technological character sets, with which the font looks stylish and expressive. You may notice that in these sets, the forms of lowercase characters with arches (r, m, n) are changed, and there are gaps in the places of infusions and connections of all characters.

Scope of application.

The scope of TT Lakes Neue 2.0 have become even more diverse, because the sans serif has become more neutral in character and more functional.

- TT Lakes Neue 2.0 is the perfect font for the gaming industry. Suitable for game interfaces of different genres.

- Technological sets can be used in architectural projects, in the headlines of posters and magazines, on outdoor signs.

- The font is suitable for logo design, looks great in branding.

Character set and technical characteristics.

We have significantly improved the set of the font, increasing the number of characters from 736 to 921. The font has become more functional due to the updated technical stuffing and new features, of which there are now 36 instead of 24.

- Added characters of extended Latin, fractions, arrows.

- Created new kerning and hinting.

- Updated variable font.

- Added new OpenType features.

The TT Lakes Neue font has 5 subfamilies: Compressed, Condensed, Regular, Extended, Expanded. In total, there are 91 styles in the font: 9 upright and 9 slanted in each subfamily and 1 variable font. Each style has 921 characters and 36 OpenType features.
