About
Tuna is a solid body text font. It merges a charming broad-nibbed calligraphic style with optimized readability on screen – showing that the roots of writing and typesetting are still in charge when reading “Anna Karenina” on a kindle till 4 o’clock in the morning.
Tuna has a natural fit for cross-media use because the design is based on forms characterised by different conditions of consistency, stability and good readability. Well defined shapes and distinctive details only become apparent when used in larger sizes, making Tuna a true all-rounder. With more than 700 glyphs in 10 styles created with a maximum of consideration, it has all the qualities of a modern OpenType font serving the needs of todays communication.
The type design was hammered out in a 3-year ping-pong like collaboration of the type designers Felix Braden and Alex Rütten. The design went through a lot of changes over the times – some regarding the whole design itself, others concerning details.
Especially when you’re working on a type design project, which can take a little time it is a great benefit to get a second opinion on your work. Otherwise you easily loose the necessary distance to what you’re currently working on. Of course you have to be open for solutions that may be not always your first choice, too. So the whole process took place in a close dialog with each other, focussing on screen optimisation, readability for long texts and the formation of a distinct character for use in headings.
