Type specimen card for Avenir setting a giant beige Av over metadata, with a weight ladder from Light to Black on dark green.
Summary
A specimen sheet for the Avenir typeface: a two-tone layout in beige on deep forest green, combining an oversized "Av" display, a technical metadata table, and a six-step weight ladder.
Visual description
Left column: a huge light-weight "Av" sits above a neat two-column spec table listing designer (Adrian Frutiger), foundry (Linotype), category, classification, release year (1988), format, and product IDs. Right side: six rows labeled Light through Black, each with "/ Oblique" in italic, a 120 pt size note, and a large "Aa" sample that visibly gains weight down the ladder. Thin keylines separate every row; everything is set in the specimen face itself, one beige ink on a single green field.
Key takeaway
A strict one-ink, two-column grid turns dry font metadata into a handsome poster; showing the weight ladder as repeated "Aa" pairs makes the family's range legible at a glance.
Reuse notes
Template-worthy for typeface presentations, brand-guideline typography pages, or foundry marketing. The dark green plus warm beige pairing is a refined alternative to black-and-white specimens. Works best with families that have many weights to ladder.
