Avant Garde with Ligatures

[gwpriester]

In my CorelDRAW days Avant Garde and Times Roman were the two basic fonts for PC users. But the PC version lacked some of the incredible and fanciful ligatures designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase that were used in the design magazine with the same name in the 70s.

My Fonts currently has a half off special on 8 weights (4 roman and 4 italic). $189 US https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/avant-garde-gothic/

And since Designer Pro X 12 (365) supports ligatures and style sets I made the leap.

My Fonts is currently offering half off specials from several different foundries including Monotype, Linotype, ITC, Bitstream, and Ascender.

I recall that Mike Wenz mentioned the ligatures in Impact, which I confess I was unaware of at the time.
Avant Garde is another that has been hiding its light under a bushel (as far as I'm concerned).
Thanks for sharing this,
