04The free stand-in: Poppins
Why Poppins. Geometric caps and tight setting; Poppins is the closest free approximation. Avant Garde itself is a licensed typeface, so everything on this page is set in Poppins, which is free to use on the web and in print.
Poppins, on its own. A monolinear geometric sans with near-circular bowls. Friendly and very even.
If Avant Garde is installed on your computer, an A/B key appears in the specimen above so you can compare the two.
