A tape cassette, comprising: a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface and a pair of side surfaces; a tape (55, 57, 59) that is a print medium mounted in the housing; a tape exit that discharges, from the housing, the tape (55, 57, 59) guided in the housing along a predetermined feed path, at least a part of the feed path extending parallel to the front surface; a tape type indicator portion provided adjacent to the tape exit and in a specified area of the front surface on an upstream side of the tape exit in a feed direction of the tape (55, 57, 59), the tape type indicator portion indicating a type of the tape (55, 57, 59); and a tape guide portion that is provided on a downstream side of the tape exit on the feed path, and that guides the tape (55, 57,59) that is discharged from the tape exit and exposed, wherein the tape type indicator portion includes an escape hole disposed on a bottom edge of the front surface, the bottom edge being an edge where the front surface is connected to the bottom surface and wherein the tape type indicator portion includes a plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5), the plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5) being a plurality of strip-shaped sections extending along a direction orthogonal to the feed direction, the escape hole is formed in one of the plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5) and is provided in the specified area of the front surface, and a length in the feed direction of the specified area is equal to or less than a tape exposure length, the tape exposure length being a distance between the tape exit and the tape guide portion and being a length of the exposed tape. a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface and a pair of side surfaces; a tape (55, 57, 59) that is a print medium mounted in the housing; a tape exit that discharges, from the housing, the tape (55, 57, 59) guided in the housing along a predetermined feed path, at least a part of the feed path extending parallel to the front surface; a tape type indicator portion provided adjacent to the tape exit and in a specified area of the front surface on an upstream side of the tape exit in a feed direction of the tape (55, 57, 59), the tape type indicator portion indicating a type of the tape (55, 57, 59); and a tape guide portion that is provided on a downstream side of the tape exit on the feed path, and that guides the tape (55, 57,59) that is discharged from the tape exit and exposed, wherein the tape type indicator portion includes an escape hole disposed on a bottom edge of the front surface, the bottom edge being an edge where the front surface is connected to the bottom surface and wherein the tape type indicator portion includes a plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5), the plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5) being a plurality of strip-shaped sections extending along a direction orthogonal to the feed direction, the escape hole is formed in one of the plurality of vertical information sections (X1 to X5) and is provided in the specified area of the front surface, and a length in the feed direction of the specified area is equal to or less than a tape exposure length, the tape exposure length being a distance between the tape exit and the tape guide portion and being a length of the exposed tape.
