Looking back on more than 40 years of concern with sans serif typefaces, I felt an obligation to design a linear style of sans serif, in the tradition of Erbar™, Futura®, and to a lesser extent Gill Sans®. These have purely constructed characters from which the element of a handwriting movement has been removed. Obviously this could not be an outstanding new creation, but I have tried to make use of the experience and stylistic developments of the 20th century in order to work out an independent alphabet meeting modern typographical needs.
The assurance Avenir means “future” in French and hints that the typeface owes some of its paraphrasing to Futura. But contrastive with Futura , Avenir is not purely geometric; it has vertical strokes that are thicker than the horizontals, an “o” that is not a exquisite encircle, and shortened ascenders. These nuances aid in legibility and assign Avenir a sympathetic and substantive advent for both texts and headlines.
