Author's note

Aver by Lauren Thompson is a free high-contrast serif font with an elegant editorial profile. Broad capitals alternate hairline strokes with strong verticals. The shapes are tall and crisply cut, with fine serifs and a particularly airy lowercase structure.

It can establish a refined title treatment for fashion magazines, cultural posters, and cosmetics packaging. The pronounced stroke changes and poised proportions link those settings through the formality of classic display type and a sharp contemporary edge.

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

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

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