Information

Proxima Nova (2005) bridges the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk. The result is a hybrid that combines modern proportions with a geometric appearance. 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.

I expanded the original six fonts into a full-featured and versatile family of 42 fonts (seven weights in three widths with italics). 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. Additions have included support for Greek, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese, numerous currency symbols, wide and extra wide widths, as well as a Medium weight for all five widths and italics, bringing the total number of fonts in the family to 80.

Since the mid-2010s, Proxima Nova has become the most popular commercial (paid) font on the web, used on hundreds of thousands of websites around the world.

Proxima Nova is also available in Arabic, Thai, Devanagari, Hangeul, Tamil, and Hebrew.
