About Tauri

Tauri is a sans serif typeface with slightly narrowed proportions and a calm, even texture. In the specimen the strokes are almost uniform in thickness but taper a little where curves meet stems, the lowercase is tall, and letters such as a, g and y keep simple, open shapes. Nothing in the alphabet calls attention to itself; the official description says the character of the face emerges gradually in use. It is recommended there for small to medium sizes, with the note that larger settings benefit from tighter letter spacing. Tauri has a single Regular style and is not a variable font. The file contains 283 glyphs in the Latin subset. Yvonne Schüttler designed it, the copyright notice names Sorkin Type Co, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Tauri works

Navigation and labels
Semi-condensed letters fit menu items and button text into limited width while the tall lowercase keeps them legible.
Captions and footnotes
The face is tuned for small to medium sizes, so short supporting text stays even in colour.
Subheadings
Set larger with tighter tracking, as the designer's notes suggest, Tauri gives a compact subheading.
Compact information cards
Narrow proportions let an address, opening hours and a phone number share one small panel.
