My Favorite Web Font - Avenir

avenir-font.gif

Every web designer has his or hers favorite font for use in graphic elements. For me it’s Avenir. I love its clean simple lines, elegant curvatures, and classic look. There are few applications I haven’t found for it. Whether designing a modern looking (web 2.0) design or classical motif, Avenir just looks beautiful.
