Average
Google Fonts · Eduardo Tunni · 2012
A purposefully unremarkable serif designed to sit quietly in body text without imposing any strong stylistic identity.
About
Average Serif was conceived as a statistical average of common serif typefaces, resulting in a face that feels familiar and unobtrusive. It is a serviceable choice for long-form reading in editorial and document contexts where neutrality is a virtue. Its single weight is a practical limitation, restricting it to lighter typographic workloads.
Classification
Average Serif is a deliberately understated text serif with moderate contrast and conventional letterform proportions, designed to blend into body copy without drawing attention to itself. Its name reflects its intentional design philosophy of typographic neutrality.
