Author's note

Adman Graphics Auslan is a free sign-language pictogram font built around Auslan hand shapes rather than conventional sans serif lettering. The set mixes a plain reference capital with clean outline drawings of hands, giving the font an instructional, accessible feel where pointing fingers, open palms, and finger positions become the main visual language.

This free font makes sense for classroom posters, learning cards, community newsletters, awareness campaigns, and exhibit graphics that need a direct Auslan cue in the line of text. It also suits short headings, title cards, and simple educational branding, because the hand forms read as visible signs first and letterforms second.

Description
Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.
