Excellent match with similar rounded terminals and geometric structure
Why it matches: Nunito captures Avenir's distinctive blend of geometric structure and rounded terminals. Both typefaces share the same philosophy of softening geometric forms for warmth without sacrificing modern clarity. The x-height, letter spacing, and overall friendly character closely parallel Avenir's humanist-geometric hybrid design.

The flat-terminal Nunito — arguably the closest free read on Avenir's forms
Why it matches: Nunito Sans is the flat-terminal companion to Nunito, and that makes it an even closer read on Avenir than its rounded sibling. It keeps the humanist-geometric balance — open apertures, a generous but controlled x-height, subtle stroke modulation — that defines Avenir, without the soft rounded corners, landing very near the original's calm, professional tone.

Minimalist sans with clean, low-contrast humanist-geometric forms
Why it matches: Mulish (formerly Muli) is a quiet, minimalist sans built on the same humanist-geometric logic as Avenir. Its even color, open counters, and restrained detailing give it Avenir's unfussy, trustworthy feel, though it is a touch more neutral and less warm than the original.

Modern semi-geometric sans tuned for screens and interfaces
Why it matches: Manrope is a contemporary semi-geometric sans that shares Avenir's balance of geometric structure and humanist openness, redrawn for the screen. It reads as a more current, UI-first cousin — cleaner at small sizes, with a slightly tighter, more technical feel than Avenir's softer warmth.
