British type designer Ron Carpenter created Amasis™ Medium Italic in 1990. Carpenter's goal was to design a clean, contemporary slab serif with a human touch. As opposed to more rigid geometric slab serifs such as Rockwell and Stymie, Amasis Medium Italic features softer edges and a friendly, curvaceous italic. A trained cartographer, Carpenter understood the importance of designing for legibility at small sizes. He hit the mark with Amasis Medium Italic - it's perfectly readable in small text, and maintains its warmth in display settings. Amasis Medium Italic Character Set: Latin-1
