Free font: Avería (an interesting story on its creation, too)

I came across Avería while searching for handwritten fonts for a project I’m working on, and found the story behind it interesting. The designer took all his fonts and overlaid them on top of each other at a low opacity level to find the average display of all of them together. The result is Avería.

Avería: An average of many fonts

You can view the sample images of the overlaid fonts to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. The detailed description of how the designer arrived at the final font is interesting.

This ain’t your daddy’s dingbat font. Erler Dingbats offers an upgrade to the decades-old Zapf Dingbats font that ships on every Mac. Erler cleans up some standard dingbats like the mail envelope, airplane, and pointing fingers. To see a comparison of existing dinbats and Erler Dingbats, you can view the dingbat comparison PDF file.
