Tasse can be seen as a straight-sided Futura, a design useful wherever Futura and its derivatives might apply.

Developed from Topic, also known as Steile Futura, it is a letterform that Paul Renner himself explored in the mid nineteen-fifties.

Guy Jeffrey Nelson has modernized the idea, expanding it into a twenty-member family of four weights and five widths. Each style also offers a wide selection of alternate character shapes.

Among other uses, Tasse is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.
