I’ve continually updated and expanded Proxima Nova since 2005, more than doubling the character set from 700 in its initial release to 1453 characters in the latest version. I expanded the original six fonts into a full-featured and versatile family of 42 fonts (seven weights in three widths with italics).
I originally released it in 1994 as Proxima Sans (now discontinued) with a basic character set in three weights (Regular, Medium, and Black) with italics. The result is a hybrid that combines modern proportions with a geometric appearance. Proxima Nova (2005) bridges the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk.
