In the “TP Sky Family” to which TP Sky Modern belongs, the axes of character width, contrast, and inside space between strokes exist apart from the selection of thickness and roundness. “TP Sky Modern,” introduced in this series, occupies a similar position in terms of the axis of inside space between strokes alongside “TP Sky SemiClassic” and “TP Sky Classic.”

In the previous article, the several points I monitored at the time of creating Blk were introduced. One of these, the “consistency with the TP Sky Family,” was checked using the already-released “TP Sky” and “TP Sky Classic,” which was under development at the time.

Consistency with the features of the TP Sky series and the existence of contradiction between kanji strokes compared with TP Sky Classic, TP Sky, and TP Sky Modern were verified for the form of the tip of a sweep, for example, among other points.

In this manner, there are different points to be checked by weight even within TP Sky Modern, such as the features of Modern, the overall black color, etc. There are points to be checked in each of the character width, roundness, and inside space between strokes in TP Sky and TP Sky Classic, and all of these are developed while maintaining a consistency as the TP Sky Family.

The recently released TP Sky SemiClassic is positioned between TP Sky and TP Sky Classic. Expressing a degree of warmth, it also has readability as text on screen. This is my favorite font. The The TP Sky family fonts are an interesting family typeface that has developed various axes, complementing the functions and features of each other and maintaining an overall consistency. I would be very happy if you like the excellence in the features of Modern in TP Sky Modern. Please keep your eyes on the TP Sky family as well as new typefaces to be released from Type Project in the future.
