Amrys
Amrys Semibold Italic
Designer: Ben Jones
Amrys was created by Ben Jones between 2014 and 2018 for the Monotype Library. Amrys is a modulated sans-serif typeface. It has a distinct modernity whilst retaining that familiar, irregular, human feel. Its lively and vibrant tone has been finely balanced to avoid becoming too self-conscious when setting text intended for immersive reading whilst also making it well suited for setting at display sizes. At its heart, Amrys is based on a brushstroke model that has been enhanced withprecise geometrical components, incised elements and a general normalisation of the forms. This creates a sans-serif that has a similar texture to that of a traditional serif typeface and greatly increases the definition of the white space around and between the letters, thereby improving its legibility. Amrys has a relatively high x-height making it suitable for setting at surprisingly small sizes while also giving good economy. The vast amount of subtleties and detailed refinements exhibited at large sizes degrade gracefully as the type is decreased in size, giving continuous text an even colour without becoming distracting. The family has 9 weights, ranging from Light to Black (including italics). Amrys supports multiple scrips: Greek, Armenian, Cyrillic and for the uprights also Arabic.
