Tundra



FF Tundra is a narrow running typeface with warm, curvaceous letterforms. Strong serifs, flat shoulders and bold and open terminals help to guide the eye along the line and therefore ease the reading. It contains a big set of characters and comes in six weights from Extralight to Bold. Tundra has been selected by the Type Directors Club of New York to receive the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design.
