The Backstory Scoop
The world of aviation is filled with clean and iconic logotypes, yet some of the earlier logotypes were friendly and simple. The Tailwind family finds its origin of inspiration in an early Air Jamaica company logo, and from there is expanded into a small but comprehensive font family.
Tailwind celebrates the typographic stylings of the 70’s, with the soft rounded terminals and open geometric feel, transcending its brand inspired origin to give birth to a family that feels both retro and modern. It inherited the friendly stylings of the mostly lowercase logo that inspired it, and goes on to include a full standard character set with expansive international support of latin based languages, small caps styles, and three weights jumping from light to regular to a heavyweight black. This family is ready to chart a course for your designs towards that of a modern, comfortable appeal.
Here\\’s what\\’s included with the Tailwind Collection bundle:
- 382 glyphs per style – including Capitals, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation and an extensive character set that covers multilingual support of latin based languages. (see the 6th graphic for a preview of the characters included)
- 6 fonts in 3 weights: Light, Regular, Black.
- Small Caps versions available in all weights.
- Fonts are provided in TTF & OTF formats. The TTF format is the standard go to for most users, although the OTF and TTF function exactly the same.
Here\\’s why the Tailwind Collection is for you:
- You\\’re in need of a soft rounded font with a variety of weights with small caps for your designs
- You\\’re a retro airline junkie and have to have anything inspired by Air Jamaica
- You love VAG Rounded, but you really want something just a little different
- You really dig the Akademics & Bloomingdales logos, but would like a softer type in that genre
- You just like to collect quality fonts to add to your design arsenal
