## About Turret Road

Turret Road is a geometric sans serif built from straight lines with corners clipped at an angle instead of rounded. Stroke thickness hardly varies, the lowercase is tall, and several letters depart from convention: in the specimen M, N and W are formed from joined arches, the capital T has a curved left arm, and the zero and O are squared boxes. The official notes also mention playful diacritics. Six upright weights are provided: ExtraLight 200, Light 300, Regular 400, Medium 500, Bold 700 and ExtraBold 800. There are no italics and no variable font. Each file holds 427 glyphs covering the Latin and Latin Extended sets. The designer listed is Dale Sattler, while the name table credits Noponies; the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Science-fiction titles**: Boxed bowls and clipped corners give film, book and game titles a machined, engineered look.
- **Game menus and HUD labels**: Even strokes and a tall lowercase keep short labels legible, and six weights separate headings from values.
- **Technology wordmarks**: The arch-built M, N and W and the curved-arm T make a short name distinctive in a logo.
- **Event and music posters**: ExtraLight set very large contrasts with ExtraBold for dates and line-ups in the same geometry.

## Things to know

- **No 600 weight**: The steps are 200, 300, 400, 500, 700 and 800; SemiBold is not part of the family.
- **Unusual letter shapes**: M, N, W and T do not follow standard construction, which slows reading in long passages.
- **No italics**: All six fonts are upright.
- **Two names in the credits**: Dale Sattler is listed as designer and the font files name Noponies as designer and manufacturer.
