Not sure if you made a typo, but TG is standard fare.

The fare brand suffix thing usually holds for North America/Sun fares, but international fares often don't follow that convention.

I tried looking up the fare on EF, and it's the lowest L fare, and one of the cheapest Y cabin fares out there. EF doesn't show what fare family it comes from, but when I looked up a couple of random dates in the future, the Basic fares ended in GT.

Have you looked up the booking using the cow's PNR viewer? It might not tell us anything, but it might.
