Airam将当代的易读性与历史上的哥特黑体字形式融合在一起，创作了一个与古老的欧洲历史对话的当代文本字体。“哥特黑体”一词指的是一种从北欧中世纪手稿传统演变而来的字体风格。这些字母通常被称为哥特字母，或者古英语，这些字母是通过其形状中宽笔尖笔触痕迹来识别。这种风格的字体通常表现出强烈的粗细笔画对比。它们往往设置得较窄，使整个页面呈现黑色调。而且，这些字母的笔画在自然界中也很不连贯(实际上，德语中的blackletter术语是gebrochene Schriften-字面意思是不连贯的字母)。
为了符合这一要求，当把Airam放在一页纸上时，它的颜色肯定比其他大多数当代文本的颜色要深。Airam的字体也有一些破损。它们显示有角度的关节，而不是平滑的曲线。这个“破碎”的方面实际上有助于在更小尺寸上的易读性。虽然Airam可能不适合整本书或整份报纸的排版，但这种字体会给短小的文本增加一种华丽的感觉。此外，Airam在大标题中看起来非常棒。
Airam于2002年由奥地利设计师Maria Martina Schmidt设计，并被Linotype GmbH收录在Take Type 5家族中。
Airam blends contemporary legibility with historic blackletter forms, creating a contemporary text face that speaks to the old European past. The term blackletter refers to a style of typefaces that evolved out of Northern Europe’s medieval manuscript tradition. Often called gothic, or Old English, these letters are identified by the traces of the wide-nib pen stroke within their forms. Typefaces designed in this style normally exhibit a drastic thick-thin stroke contrast. They tend to be set a bit narrow, leaving the appearance of a black tone across the page. The strokes of these letterforms also appear quite broken" in nature (indeed, the German term for blackletter – gebrochene Schriften – literally means broken letters).
To fit the bill, when set on a page, Airam certainly appears darker than most other contemporary text faces. Airam’s letterforms are slightly broken, too. They display angled joints in lieu of smooth curves. This "broken" aspect actually aids legibility at smaller point sizes. While Airam may not be suitable for setting whole books or newspapers, this font will add a splendid touch to short tracts of small text. Additionally, Airam looks superb in large headlines.
Airam was designed in 2002 by the Austrian designer Maria Martina Schmidt, and is included in the Take Type 5 collection from Linotype GmbH."
