Ames’ Roman is a stylish ‘New-Style’ Didone Roman family offered in divers weights and widths.  It is designed to embody clarity combined with dramatic contrast between horizontal and vertical strokes.  All typefaces include small capital forms, new and old style numerals (and indeed ‘small capital’ numerals for consistency).  Ames’ is a Roman with the charm of the past and the spirit of the future!  It’s ideal for headings and titles and anywhere else you need text of distinction.  

Ames’ text is designed for use in its own right and also as a complement to our Ames’ Roman family.  Ames’ text is a ‘New-Style’ Didone family offered in three weights and three widths.  It is designed to embody clarity combined with contrast between horizontal and vertical strokes, but with sufficient stroke width in both directions to display well at small point sizes.  All typefaces include small capital forms, new and old style numerals (and ‘small capital’ numerals for consistency).  Ames’ text is distinctive enough for use in headings and titles, but comes into it own as a text face.  Keep a lookout for our forthcoming Ames Display faces…

Ames’ Shaded is one of three display typefaces designed to complement the Ames’ Roman and Ames’ Text typeface families.  Ames’ Shaded has that semi-industrial feel that somehow is evoked by diagonal cross-hatching.  Delightful for use on its own of with the families mentioned.

Ames’ Shadow is a splendid traditional open shadowed typeface.  It is splendid for poster and design work on its own, but al so designed to complement our Ames’ Roman and Ames’ Text families.  

Ames’ Weathered is the ‘antique’ accompaniment to our Ames’ typeface families.  It has that ‘tumbled’, weather knocked about look.  Just the thing for posters, headings and signage where there’s a need to suggest age.
