Proxima Nova, released in 2005, is a modern typeface that blends the geometric style of Futura with the versatility of Akzidenz Grotesk. Originally launched as Proxima Sans in 1994 with just six fonts, it was reimagined into a much broader family featuring modern proportions and a clean, geometric aesthetic.

Over the years, Proxima Nova has grown into a comprehensive type family with 80 fonts, supporting a wide range of languages and scripts, including Greek, Cyrillic, Vietnamese, Arabic, Thai, Devanagari, Hangeul, Hebrew, and Tamil. Since 2010 it has become the most widely used commercial font on the web.
