FF Tundra OT Demi Bold Italic
FF Tundra is a narrow serif typeface with stressed forms and soft contours. The idea evolved from looking at a page in a book of the Bremer Presse from 1925 when Ludwig Übele was fascinated by the balance and incredibly perfect lines. At that time, he was investigating how a narrow typeface should look for optimal readability. In FF Tundra he combined strong serifs, flat shoulders (see n) and open but heavy endings (see a, e, c) with a moderate contrast to achieve a balanced, legible typeface with a certain softness and humanity. FF Tundra has been designed for continuous text, but is also suitable for magazines and headlines (especially the Extra Light) and will surely work in newspapers as well. The family consists of six weights from Extra Light to Bold, each with Italics and Small Caps and many OpenType layout features.

Character SetOpenType Features Hover over a feature to learn more. Click a feature to filter Character Set view.- Show All Glyphs
-
Access All Alternates This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible. This serves several purposes: An application may not support the feature by which the desired glyph would normally be accessed; the user may need a glyph outside the context supported by the normal substitution, or the user may not know what feature produces the desired glyph. Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature.
-
Contextual Alternates When available, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior.
-
Case-sensitive Forms Shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences or sets of lining figures; also changes oldstyle figures to lining figures.
-
Discretionary Ligatures Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. This feature covers those ligatures which may be used for special effect, at the user's preference.
-
Denominators Replaces selected figures which follow a slash with denominator figures.
-
Fractions Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions.
-
Historical Forms This feature replaces the default (current) forms with the historical alternates, e.g. the long form of s or the old Fraktur k.
-
Standard Ligatures Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, e.g. 'fi', 'fl'. This feature is enabled by default and cannot currently be disabled.
-
Lining Figures This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.
-
Numerators Replaces selected figures which precede a slash with numerator figures, and replaces the typographic slash with the fraction slash.
-
Ordinals Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
-
Proportional Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths with corresponding glyphs set on glyph-specific (proportional) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
-
Stylistic Alternates Replaces the default forms with stylistic alternates. Note that there may be more than one stylistic alternate for a given character.
-
Scientific Inferiors Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors.
-
Stylistic Set Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
- Stylistic Set 2
- Stylistic Set 3
-
Subscript The "subs" feature may replace a default glyph with a subscript glyph, or it may combine a glyph substitution with positioning adjustments for proper placement.
-
Superscript Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles).
-
Tabular Figures Replaces figure glyphs set on proportional widths with corresponding glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
-
Slashed Zero Some fonts contain both a default form of zero, and an alternative form which uses a diagonal slash through the counter. Especially in condensed designs, it can be difficult to distinguish between 0 and O (zero and capital O) in any situation where capitals and lining figures may be arbitrarily mixed. This feature allows the user to change from the default 0 to a slashed form.
