Avenir Next is a sans-serif typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger and released by Linotype in 2004. It’s a modernized version of Frutiger’s earlier typeface, Avenir, and has a more contemporary feel. Its design features a combination of humanist and geometric influences, with a focus on clarity and legibility. The design elements that make it stand out are its tall x-height, wide proportions, and the subtle rounded corners on some of its characters.
Avenir Next is a versatile typeface that evokes a sense of calm and professionalism. Its character is modern yet timeless, and its clean lines and open shapes make it suitable for a wide range of projects, from corporate websites to magazines. It’s a good choice for industries like finance, technology, and fashion, and its legibility makes it a great choice for body text.
