TT Frantz from TypeTrends features a distinctive variable axis that controls the x-height, letting you shift the visual weight of letterforms up or down without changing their width. This slender, lightweight design draws from art deco sensibilities, particularly in how the waist and shoulders of characters can appear strikingly raised or compressed depending on where you position the slider. The execution is careful: Cyrillic characters change their aperture behavior differently than their Latin counterparts, and lowercase letters stand as tall as capitals while maintaining snug kerning pairs.

With 470 glyphs across Latin and Cyrillic scripts, TT Frantz includes old-style and standard numerals in both regular and tabular spacing, plus contextual alternates for full character coverage. The variable foundation means your x-height adjusts fluidly across a continuous range, but if your design software doesn't support variable fonts, TypeTrends has you covered with three static versions (Frantz A, B, C) where the baseline sits at preset high, medium, and low positions respectively.

This typeface suits designers working on wine label lettering where balance shifts with content, high-end skincare packaging demanding precision at multiple scales, magazine cover treatments with dramatic vertical presence, or formal invitation suites where decorative letterforms convey quiet elegance. Find TT Frantz on Creative Fabrica, where both the variable font and the static versions are available for your projects.
