Avermont House

Avermont House is a high-contrast display serif with a calligraphic italic and a strong vertical stress.

The roman holds a steady editorial weight — wide bowls, sturdy serifs, generous counters — and the italic opens up into long entry strokes and tail flourishes that carry the eye through a phrase. Capitals lean into ornament when the next letter calls for it; lowercase keeps things readable at body size. It reads as something printed on a label glued to a thick glass jar, where the maker had time to draw each letter twice.

It is the kind of lettering you can picture on the front of a small-batch perfume catalogue, or running across the title page of a quiet book about gardens.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.
