Design & features
Avara's letters were first drawn on a rough square grid to make collaboration easier, which led to its radical, highly constrained style: no curves at all, with sharp points around every letter—cutting and heavy.
Three styles—Bold, Black and Bold Italic—with 224 glyphs in the upright and 214 in the italic.
Best uses
Stylistically, Avara works well for English captions on app screenshots, English accents on packaging and wordmarks. For English headlines, try all caps with a little extra tracking.
