Author's note

Aver Bold Italic by Lauren Thompson is a free high-contrast serif font with sweeping italic forms and a firmly drawn, editorial look. Broad capitals, fine hairlines, and sharply tapered details give the lettering a lively forward motion.

Fashion labels and luxury goods could use its pronounced thick-thin strokes to suggest drama without resorting to ornament. It also suits magazine covers, cultural posters, and book jackets, where the large, sculptural letters can become part of the main image.

--

Aver contains 750 glyphs, including many Greek and Cyrillic characters.

Aver is free for personal use. Commercial use requires a donation.

The Cyrillic characters have been corrected and expanded. Margot Fette has been renamed Margot Bold.
