2006. Commissioned by the Denver Post. Available to publication designers through the Font Bureau Studio Library.
I suppose it was inevitable that Amplitude would come full-circle and need a proper agate version for classified ads. Not too much has to change, structurally. Basically just the 'g'. and slightly deeper inktraps in some of the diagonal characters. The biggest changes are that the set of weights has been restructured, to make more weights that are closer together (the final set of weights used by any paper will have to be determined by a press test), and the weights are all duplexed onto the same set of character widths, which is required in most situations where a true agate face is used.
I've worked out the narrowest end of the family, and plan to add at least 2 more widths.
Compressed width in five numbered weights.
