Type selection is key
Typography sets the tone before you say a word. It shapes how your message comes across — how it feels, how it’s read, and how it’s remembered.
We notice type most when it’s wrong. When something feels off. The spacing’s tight, the voice is too loud, or it just doesn’t match what’s being said. But when the type is right, it gets out of the way — and helps the words do their job. It can give structure to ideas. It makes space for meaning. Typography isn’t just about style. It’s about the way we take in information. It adds rhythm to the reading experience. It tells us where to look first and what matters most. It makes content easier to follow, and in some cases, easier to trust. The tone comes through in the details — the shape of the letters, how they’re spaced, the way one form leads to the next. Some typefaces feel quiet and careful. Others have energy. Some pull you in. Some stay out of the way. Choosing the right one is less about picking a look and more about finding a voice that fits what you want to say.That’s why trying type in context matters. It’s one thing to see a beautiful letter or a well-set specimen — but it’s another thing to see how it handles your content. How it behaves when it’s small. How it reads when it’s big. How it feels with your own words.That’s what this space is for. Try a headline. Paste a paragraph. Adjust the size, change the weight, type something unexpected. Some typefaces are built to be expressive. Others are made to stay flexible. The best ones hold up in all kinds of situations. They do the job without losing their character. Take a minute to experiment. You’ll know when it feels right.

Proxima Nova Extra Wide Semi Bold is a part of the Proxima Nova font family. It includes OpenType features such as stylistic alternates, stylistic sets, and several more. Proxima Nova Extra Wide Semi Bold is ideal for branding, editorial, and greeting usage.

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 separately as a variable font called Proxima Vara.
