How to change the appearance of the AMS Article title

Question

I am writing a document with \documentclass{amsart}. How do you change the appearance of the title in a document like this? It is set to all caps, bold, and a certain size. I can change it to italics with \textit{}, but I can't do anything else. I want to change the title to Large roman text. It seems like \renewcommand{\title} would work, but I don't know how to use this command. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can redefine \@settitle and introduce your font modifications there; a little example suppressing the bold-faced font and using \LARGE:

\documentclass{amsart}

\makeatletter
\def\@settitle{\begin{center}%
  \baselineskip14\p@\relax
    %\bfseries
    \normalfont\LARGE%<- NEW
\uppercasenonmath\@title
  \@title
  \end{center}%
}
\makeatother
\title{This is an interesting title}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}
