As it stands, the pair "Ti" is badly kerned: the top bar of the T is uncomfortably close to the tittle on the i. (The following screenshot is taken for text with dlig, ss01, ss05, ss06 and ss07 [TeX options Ligatures=Rare, StylisticSet={1,5,6,7}].)

Solutions could include:

  • Using a thinner version for T

  • Redoing the kerning (not a good idea — the bases get too distant from each other)

  • Moving the tittle

  • (the cool option) creating a fun ligature where the tittle is actually incorporated into the arm of the T

For consistent appearance, adding a ‘Ti’ ligature would entail also adding a ‘Tj’ ligature. English has no words (or no common words) beginning with tj, but other languages do, such as Swedish.
