Looking to Recreate Font

One of my clients had a custom font created for them based on Avenir. They are no longer in contact with the company that created it so they want to recreate it in order to use it on Canva. Currently, it's not being validated.

    Your client will have to talk to the people that hold the rights to Avenir. Monotype, probably.

    It could be the case that the font was made to look similar to Avenir but without using any of its digital data. If this is the case, other designers or companies could take the assignment.

    It depends on what that "based on" means exactly...

    Also, if they own it, why not "recreate" it by importing the existing version into an editor? And what does "not being validated" mean?

    Which might however be unethical, depending.

    I had problems with a custom job being used in Canva. I tried just about everything to get it validated, and I now know the trick to it. Get in touch if you need help with that and/or the custom font job itself.
