Amie Sans is an obscene font. It's all about friendship, love, sex and casual relationships between glyphs.
It started in May 2011 as a personal research project on heavy sans-serif fonts, with counters reduced to wedges and glyphs overlapping each other. Amie Sans cannot be coded as a digital font due to this overlap, because each glyph's shape is determined by the shape before it: every line of text has to be hand-composed and carefully spaced.
While I was working on it, my friend Domenico asked me to think about a new logotype for his music blog Music is my friend with benefits. I tought Amie Sans was the perfect choice, thanks to its powerful and compelling look with an indie-rock touch. MIMFWB 2011 summer compilations were the first projects in which Amie Sans was used. I'm still working on the blog template and masthead.
