Tourney is a collaboration of tech and sport. At least, that is where the inspiration came from. Tourney would feel at home on a space ship or in a stadium. The lightest weight of Tourney (100) is almost an outline and that "stroke" thickens as the weights increase. 900 is completely solid.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
