- Description
- The Artimas family is the new book design font family developed out of Aramus. These new serif typefaces are readable and graceful — part of my development of a series of book families. Aramus was very popular for a single font release of a text font. This new book font family retains the looseness of the original with radically different font metrics and many shape “corrections”.
In fact, Artimas continues a genuine new path for this foundry.
This new font family for book design continues a turn toward more “traditional” x-heights of around a third of the point size. The Artimas print production font family is four OpenType Pro fonts with Caps, lowercase, small caps, & figures to go with each of those character sets. There are many ligatures, a few swashes, fractions, numerators, denominators, and ordinals to infinity. This family of fonts is a joy to read and easy to use for text or display. - OpenType
- Standard, Capitals to Small Caps, Discretionary Ligatures, Denominator, Fractions, Standard Ligatures, Lining Figures, Numerator, Oldstyle Figures, Ordinals, Proportional Figures, Scientific Inferiors, Small Caps, Superscript, Tabular Figures

David has worked in printing and publishing since he began in 1971. As he progressed from illustrator, to graphic designer, to typographer, to art director, he fell in love with type. Yet he was frustrated by the fonts available—specifically the lack of oldstyle figures, small cap figures, and the rest of the typographic niceties needed for excellent typography. When he was asked to write the first textbook on the all-digital printing workflow in 1994, he decided he would need to design all the fonts for the book, as well. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that people liked his fonts, and that he sold quite a few. Since that time, he has design dozens of fonts and font families. He designs display fonts, but his heart is in body copy fonts, with a companion font for the headers using the same vertical metrics. Currently, he writes and publishes full-time. His personal, best selling book is "Practical Font Design With FontLab 5".
