In basic, I have actually chosen that many of my fonts produce a type color that is too thick. Aramus is an effort to avoid that look. Although Amitale has actually been an extremely effective book household and outstanding to work with, I find I still require something more open with a lighter color. Aramus is the first appearance at the brand-new direction. The initial hand-cut serifs vary a lot, various for almost every character. This gives a little looseness and helps the lightness I am searching for. It will be fascinating to see where this all goes.
This is a typical serif for me because it has caps, lowercase, small caps with the appropriate figures for each case. This font style has all the OpenType functions in the set for 2009. I didn't trouble with the CE accents (though I can include them upon request. They will be in the last new book family). There are several ligatures for your fun and pleasure: bb gg ff fi fl ffi ffl ffy fj ft tt ty Wh Th and more. Like all of my typefaces, there are: caps, lowercase, small caps, proportional lining figures, proportional oldstyle figures, & & little cap figures, plus numerators, denominators, superiors, inferiors, and a complete set of ordinals 1st through infinity.
Enjoy!
