(RELEASE  NOTES)

Antique monumental incriptional majuscule, originally carved
in stone, and sometimes called "Roman Capital", is the origin
of the upper-case part of our latin alphabet. Its narrowed
form, derived from handwritten originals used between the
first to third century A. D., served as the inspiration for
the Mramor typeface, which I drew with ink on paper in 1988
under Jan Solpera's leadership.

After composing negative letters on a strip of film it was
possible to use Mramor with the early phototypesetting
devices. In 1994 with the help of Macintosh IIvi I added the
lowercase letters and bolds, and issued this typeface as
14-font family. After some years of using Mramor for various
purposes, I realized a need of modernization and humanizing
its very fragile appearance, as well as removing numerous
decorative and useless parts. Besides that, type design made a
huge technical progress in past few years, so I was able to
finish the remaining approximately 9600 glyphs contained in
the present font system names Amor.

It is already usual to combine sans and serif fonts within one
family in order to distinguish (e. g. in a book) historical
part from contemporary, a plain chapter from a special one,
or, in quotations, to divide speaking persons. Sans-serif
typefaces don't arise by simple removal of serifs; they have
to be drawn completely separeately, when ocasionally many
declined forms may be made, considered to the serifed
original.

Nevertheless, both parts of this type system appear
consistent as for proportional, aesthetic and emotional
atmosphere.

Usage of type is often closely linked to its original
inspiration, in this particular case with architecture and
figurative sculpture. An inner ôorderö was also text setting
in smaller sizes. A smooth scale of weights enriches the
possibilities in designing of magazines, brochures, exposition
catalogues and corporate indentity. Economizing, but opened
shape of characters is well legible and antiqueinto play after
longer reading.
