As a regulated serif, its letter shapes live in between serif and sans serif, providing the style a sense of pleasing irregularity-- something that's really highlighted at larger sizes. However this is also a typeface that works for text, injecting rhythm and texture into reading.
" It's distinctive, idiosyncratic, and strange," states its designer, Ben Jones. He started designing Amrys while studying an MA at Reading University, creating it in action to a brief for a magazine typeface.
Amrys includes a substantial and impressive character set. In addition to Latin, Amrys covers a number of scripts consisting of Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Armenian. The household consists of 8 weights, from Light to Black, with matching italics.
