Designers don’t let friends use Avant Garde (font)
As Brian Memmott used to say, “If you’re ever tempted to use Avant Garde, use Futura”
Ok kids, time for another tweak. The e was corrected as well as the kerning, but for this post we’ll focus on the s. Notice that the s is about half the width of the d which makes the s feel too dense in compared to the pacing of the rest of the letters. To correct this, don’t use horizontal character stretching. Stretching the glyph to be wider produces too much weight in the horizontal widths/bowls of the s.
