Amhara Font Family was designed by Ingo Zimmermann and published by Ingo. Amhara contains 3 styles and family package options. A “latin” alphabet modelled on the ethiopian Ge’ez script – an experiment that works.Amhara was created by transferring the typical forms of the Ethiopian Amharic script to the west European alphabet. Because Amharic is traditionally written with an expanded pen tip, it shows the typical ductus also characteristic of the uncial scripts of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. So this font »Amhara« has a somewhat sacramental effect. And, although the individual forms look foreign, the overall picture is strangely familiar.The two styles of »Amhara« include a number of ligatures which dispose of many non-attractive letter combinations.Stylistic alternates are available for some letters, too.Read more about this font at ingoFonts…
