Author's note

Aver Bold by Lauren Thompson is a free high-contrast serif with commanding proportions and a distinctly editorial finish. Fine hairlines cut crisply through broad, rounded letterforms.

Fashion and culture audiences will find it suited to magazine mastheads, exhibition posters, and premium packaging, where its sharp shifts in weight complement confident photography or clean geometric artwork. In branding, it is especially convincing for labels and wordmarks that require a formal, fashion-conscious identity.

--

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

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

Corrections and additions have been made to the Cyrillic characters. Margot Fette has also been renamed Margot Bold.
