BetterKamp Italic

Designed by Robert Schenk, BetterKamp is a display serif, hand drawn and serif font family. This typeface has six styles and was published by Ingrimayne Type.

BetterKamp was originally constructed in 1995-6. It was not constructed to meet any specific purpose but out of curiosity, to see what the result would be if two quite different faces were blended. BetterKamp is the offspring of BetterTypeRight, which has characteristics of a typewriter face without the monospacing, and KampFriendship, which mimics a serifed face drawn by hand.
The original blending had many oddities that I did not clean up until 2020 when I also added the semi-bold weights. BetterKamp has very little contrast. It lacks polish and elegance, but it is very readable at small point sizes.
