Anivers
Ninja September 13th, 2007
Normally, free fonts = really crappy fonts. But wait, free font foundry, exlijbris is offering up something quite nice. Anivers, was created in celebration of Smashing Magazine’s one-year anniversary.
This lovely font boasts features you would expect from other quality fonts:
+ ligatures (yay—it’s even got the fj ligature, so I can set “fjord” now)
+ contextual alternatives
+ fractions
+ oldstyle/tabular numerals*
+ ‘case’ feature for case sensative forms
+ over 1600 kerning pairs
* (sigh) it comes with oldstyle figures—no need to purchase the expert set (oh, wait, it’s free)

+ Download Anivers (scroll down—sorry exlijbris does not like direct linking)

Aye, Mr. Buivenga is kind enough to share his work with us free o' charge! But if you do like his stuff, you can donate via PayPal on his site (link is on the left menu):

Mr. Buivenga, I think that you are doing a great job. I sure hope that other typographers will start making great typefaces for free. I sure will use your fonts
on my designer works. Nevertheless, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR REVOLUTION!

My own revolution could be a self-fulfilling profecy :-)

Thanks for stopping by again. And much thanks for your beautiful work! I noticed that Anivers is gaining more attention which is very cool to learn. I saw a nod to Anivers on a recent post at ilovetypography.com. Congrats!
Cheers,

There's no way getting around me now :)
My next release will probably be MUSEO ... working really hard.
I'll post new images on my blog this weekend.
How are the stats going? I'm getting a lot of traffic these days :)
