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.

  7. My Favorite Web Font – Avenir : Elitist Snob: Mac snobbery and such I like this %Avenir%. My baby gets into everything %Saturday%, so this is great. I feel she needs to have as much room to move around as possible. The only downfall is that it makes the play yard a little more wobbly at the top. If she lifts herself up, (she hasn’t at this point) it will wobble, but it’s very heavy, so I feel it wouldn’t topple over.

  8. %My Favorite Web Font – Avenir : Elitist Snob: Mac snobbery and such% My little girl is only 10 weeks but still gets a kick out of this Avenir!! She’s only entertained for about ten minutes at a time and doesnt really have the hand-eye coordination to play with any of the toys, but I sit her in it and she just stares, amazed I cant wait to see how much better she likes it when she understands it more!!!
