Tofino features two variable fonts. The first contains the main family with a very large range of styles within three axes—weight, width, and italic. The text styles are in a separate variable font and have two axes, weight and italic. Read more about variable fonts here.
All the things you love about Swiss style typography but with more hang loose attitude. The Swiss International Style was a movement in typography that aimed to create order. It was buttoned-up, straight-laced, and a bit pompous if we’re being honest. Tofino’s letterforms are inspired by the Neo-Grotesque typefaces of that time but with some buttons undone and some laces a little wiggly.
The design is inspired by small, descriptive labeling text used throughout an old type specimen. Tofino is a slightly squared, condensed workhorse family that is well-suited to a screen environment. The letterforms may have a European origin, but they were made on the West Coast of BC and some of that wild, rainforest energy made its way into the design.
