## 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.

## Where it works

- **Captions beside Average**: Shared proportions with the serif Average let captions, sidebars and labels sit next to serif body text.
- **Blog and magazine text**: Neutral forms with slight stroke modulation give an even texture, the use its designer names first.
- **Academic pages**: Latin Extended coverage handles author names and citations in Central European languages.
- **Short headlines**: Slightly narrow letters fit a headline of several words into a text column.

## Things to know

- **No bold or italic**: Average Sans has Regular 400 only, so emphasis in running text needs another device or a second family.
- **Reserved name**: The license reserves the font name Average; a modified version has to be renamed.
- **Latin scripts only**: The 407 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended.
