Amasis is a slab serif design which has been drawn with a humanist approach, rather than the traditional geometric construction associated with this style of letter. The result is a typeface that has an affinity with the Ionics, although in character it belongs to the latter decades of the twentieth century.
The Amasis italic fonts, rather than being sloped roman or cursive in nature, are related more to the Old Style italics.
Amasis works particularly well in small sizes where readability is important.
Amasis has proved excellent for use on low resolution printers and for facsimile transmissions.
Amasis is available in OpenType, TrueType and PostScript (Type 1) formats for PC and Mac.
