Averta Standard
The Designers Foundry · Kostas Bartsokas
A geometric sans by Kostas Bartsokas that blends European grotesque and American gothic influences across nine weights with true italics and support for over 400 languages.
About
Drawn with purely geometric rounds, open apertures and low contrast strokes, it aims for a modernist, neutral and friendly character suited to text and display use alike. The family spans Extrathin to Black with matching true italics, and extends into narrow and condensed widths for tight headlines. Cyrillic support earned third place at the 2017 Granshan Awards, and the family is also available as a variable font covering both weight and width axes.
Classification
Averta is explicitly described as a geometric sans serif, drawing on early European grotesques and American gothics, with purely geometric rounds, open apertures and low contrast strokes.
