Tatty was designed by Tanya Davis and published by Scrowleyfonts. Tatty contains 3 styles and family package options.
Tatty is a sans serif, monoline font that is distinguished by the gentle, rounded, backward curves on the ascenders. I created it because I had a picture in my mind of a font that I wanted to use when designing images and logos for clients’ websites but I could never find one that was just exactly right.
Many years ago I worked for a sign-writing company. My job was to copy and enlarge letter sets from printed copy and then cut masks for airbrushing. One morning I arrived at my desk to find that the airbrush artist had written on a rough, rubbed out, scribbled on drawing of the letter ‘a’ – “make a letter happy, make it beautiful”.
That was the brief I set myself in the design of Tatty – to make every letter happy and beautiful. The result is a flowing, elegant yet simple type which I believe works particularly well for poetry.
