About Average Sans

Average Sans is a sans serif made to accompany Average, a serif family by the same designer. It takes over the serif's colour, structure and proportions, so the two can be mixed on one page without a change of rhythm. The specimen shows quiet, slightly narrow letters with a gentle swelling of the strokes, a two-storey a and g, a capital Q with a straight diagonal tail and figures at capital height. The official notes stress the neutrality of the forms and suggest online magazines, academic texts and blogs, for both text and short headlines. The family consists of a single Regular style with 407 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, and it is not a variable font. Eduardo Tunni is the designer, and Average Sans is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Academic pages

Short headlines
Slightly narrow letters fit a headline of several words into a text column.
