TP Apricot is based on the theme of “sizzle feel” and incorporates the texture of handwriting to create a design with familiarity. This design principle also applies to the figures and symbols included in the font.

The illustration below displays TP Apricot and TP Sky (clear and simple sans-serif typeface) side by side. I think it would be easier to understand if you compared them.

Figures like triangles and squares were slightly thickened and then rounded at the corners. This creates subtle modulations in line thickness and gives the corners a plump appearance, making them match the other characters.

For the circle, we deliberately avoided making a perfect circle but just made it a soft shape. The dots in Latin characters like “i,” “j,” “.,” “;,” etc. are slightly softer and rounder, so we have aligned them accordingly.

Some symbols, like playing card marks and hand arrows, have distinct designs for easy recognition. TP Apricot has many curves and intentionally creates black pools to give it a plump impression.

The degree to which figures, symbols, and characters should be separated in design varies depending on the typeface. With TP Apricot, we are conscious of creating exclusive designs, so we hope that you can sense the individuality of the typeface even in the smallest details.

Apart from the behind-the-scenes story here, the development story page provides detailed information about the design process and concept behind TP Apricot. Please take a look.
