Description

A successful agate predicts the spread of ink on paper and effectively keeps its legibility under less than ideal conditions. Fascinated by the visual aspects of these entirely functional compensations, Christian Schwartz designed Amplitude, an extensive sanserif series for text and display that turns function into style: deep angled cuts keep small sizes readable, while adding character at display sizes. FB 2003

For additional license options like app, enterprise, multi-user, and self-hosted web, visit Amplitude on Type Network.

Orange Italic

A New/Old foundry from Christian Schwartz

Orange Italic has been an art project, a design studio, and a magazine, and is now library of legacy typefaces from early in Christian Schwartz’s career.
First founded by type designer Christian Schwartz and design polymath Dino Sanchez in 2001, Orange Italic has been an art project, a design studio, and a magazine. As of 2023, it is a library of legacy typefaces from early in Schwartz’s career, prior to his co-founding Commercial Type with Paul Barnes in 2009. Most of these were released through Font Bureau, and others are finally being finished and put into general release for the first time. All of these families, from the influential Amplitude and Farnham to the obscure Fritz, have been updated for contemporary standards, with expanded character sets and italics for families that didn’t previously have them.
