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)

    That's one sexy font that is.
  • I know fonts take a lot of work and therefore cost a lot of money to purchase and use. But, I love free fonts!!!!! Especially if they’re good.

    Hello everyone,
    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!
  • Thank you all for your kind words. I owe it all to you. I never thought there would be so many typo loving people in the world would appreciate the work of a self-made typophile.

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

    Hallo Jos,

    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,
    Ninja

    PS I'm looking forward to your next release. ^__^
  • ilovetypography.com is now promoting nearly every font I made.
    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 :)

    Ah, Jos, we meet again! Wow, congrats on all the well-deserved plugs you've been receiving. It's exciting to hear that you've gotten so many visitors, + even more exciting that you'll be releasing yet another fine font. NvP eagerly awaits it's arrival. Much thanks for the heads up + I do hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.

    Cheers,
