## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **One weight**: Tauri is Regular 400 only. Hierarchy has to come from size, colour or a second family.
- **Tighten spacing at large sizes**: The default spacing is set for smaller text; the official notes recommend closer spacing for display use.
- **Latin subset only**: The file carries the latin subset. Latin-ext, Cyrillic and Greek are not among its subsets.
