Bored by typefaces so skinny that you don’t dare touch them in fear you might break their curves? Tiptoe is different. Tiptoe doesn’t care. It is Bold. ExtraBold. Black. UltraBlack. And curves are broken already. No need to worry. The best part: Tiptoe’s got feet. Ideal for greeting cards, certificates, headlines and titles.
Tiptoe is one of Typographica’s Favorite Typefaces of 2006.
My favorite use of it? In two Frans Masareel books designed by Philippe Millot.

Glyphs
The glyph set found in OTF for Print and in WOFF for Web:
Tiptoe is designed to just work. It has alternate J and Q without ascenders to work better in all-caps setting and an uncial E.
Like most fonts from KLTF, Tiptoe offers wider spacing of punctuation marks via the ‘Stylistic Set 20’ feature.
As to OTF for Print, not all operating systems and applications support OpenType Layout features and kerning equally well, if at all. As to WOFF for Web, only more recent browser versions support OpenType Layout features, via CSS font-feature-settings.
