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. The supplementary fonts are NOT needed at all with OpenType-savvy programs (such as Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress 7).Proxima Nova (2005) bridges the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk. Supplementary fonts ( Proxima Nova Alt and Proxima Nova ScOsf) are included for use with programs (such as Flash and Microsoft Word) that do not yet support all OpenType features. * Requires an application with OpenType and/or Unicode support.Īll characters, including the small caps, old style figures, and alternate characters are included in the basic Proxima Nova fonts. Lining and old style figures (proportional and tabular)*Įxtended language support (most Latin-based scripts supported)* Matching small caps for all weights and widths*

Matching italics for all weights and widths The result is a hybrid combining humanistic proportions with a somewhat geometric appearance.Ĩ weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Extrabold, and Blackģ widths: Normal, Condensed, and Extra Condensed Stylistically, Proxima Nova straddles the gap between typefaces like Futura and classic sans faces. Each width consists of 16 fonts-seven weights with matching italics. There are three widths: Proxima Nova, Proxima Nova Condensed, and Proxima Nova Extra Condensed. The original six fonts (three weights with italics) have been expanded to 48 full-featured OpenType fonts. The Proxima Nova family is a complete reworking of Proxima Sans (1994). The font is currently #14 in Best Sellers. Proxima Nova contains 144 styles and family package options.

Proxima Nova was designed by Mark Simonson and published by Mark Simonson.
