About Amarante

Amarante is a display typeface built from narrow letters with medium contrast and Art Nouveau forms. Stems flare slightly at their ends instead of carrying full serifs, and curves swell like brush strokes. Several letters break convention: the capital A has a top stroke that curls over to the left, the lowercase y is built like a u with a tail, and the numerals have slanted, calligraphic shapes. The lowercase is tall and tightly fitted, so lines stay compact. The official description notes that although Amarante is a display face it also functions in text and headlines. The family has one Regular font and is not a variable font. Its 411 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended. Karolina Lach designed Amarante, the copyright is held by Sorkin Type Co., and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Amarante works

Book covers and theatre posters

Art Nouveau letter shapes place a title in the atmosphere of the years around 1900.

Labels for tea, wine and cosmetics

Condensed letters fit a long product name on a narrow label while the flared stems keep it decorative.

Café and restaurant menus

Section titles in Amarante give a menu a period flavour above a plainer text face.

Chapter openings

The official description says the face also works in text, so a short introductory paragraph can follow the heading in the same font.

Things to know

One style

Amarante has Regular 400 only, with no bold or italic.

Condensed proportions

The letters are narrow, so more characters fit on a line than with a normal-width display face.

Latin scripts only

Latin and Latin Extended are covered. Cyrillic and Greek are not included.
