The Proxima Nova Font Family: A Hybrid of Classic & Modern Typography

If you're a designer, you've probably heard of the Proxima Nova font family, and for good reason. Designed by famed typographer, Mark Simonson, Proxima Nova has become one of the most popular typefaces in the modern era. So what makes Proxima Nova so special?

An Expanded Collection for Enhanced Design Flexibility & Functionality

The Proxima Nova font family is a complete reworking of Proxima Sans (1994). What started with just six fonts has now expanded to 48 fonts, all full-featured OpenType with three variations in width for the maximum flexibility in design. Proxima Nova comes in Normal, Condensed, and Extra Condensed, each consisting of 16 fonts, eight weights with matching italics.

A Mix of Humanistic Proportions & Geometric Features

Stylistically, Proxima Nova straddles the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk, making it the perfect choice for those wanting something in-between. What results is a hybrid of humanistic proportions with a somewhat geometric appearance, making it the perfect choice for modern and professional designs.

Features that Make Proxima Nova Stand Out

Aside from its elegant and modern appearance, what sets Proxima Nova apart is its incredible feature set.

Features include:

Automatic fractions
Automatic ordinals
Dingbats (16)
Extended language support (most Latin-based scripts supported)
Extended currency support
Full "f" ligature set
Lining and old-style figures - proportional and tabular
Matching small caps for all weights and widths
Matching italics for all weights and widths
Alternate characters (a, l, y, G)

Please note that some of these features require an application with OpenType and/or Unicode support. However, all Basic Proxima Nova fonts include all characters including small caps, old-style figures, and alternate characters.

Greater Cost-Effectiveness for Your Design Needs

Proxima Nova isn't just functional, it's affordable too. With thousands of downloads every year, Proxima Nova has become an accessible choice for designers from all backgrounds. You can easily download the font and web font family from our website, and you can get started with Proxima Nova as soon as possible, at an affordable price.

Update 4 - May 27, 2021

Proxima Nova 3.019:

This includes the the long-awaited update to the tilde (~) character, something that was requested by multiple customers. In this update, I'm also officially dropping the optional Alt and ScOsf fonts. They were originally included as workarounds for apps lacking OpenType support. That's not really a big problem anymore, so I've decided to retire them. Not all distributors have included these, but if you have, please remove them from your offerings.

Update 3 - January 10, 2019

Proxima Nova 3.017

- Azerbaijani currency added
- Seriffed figure one added to all figure styles

- A few kerning and TTF hinting fixes
- Updated PDF specimen

- Additional support for mark-to-base and mark-to-mark
- Improvements and additions to accents
- Improved accents for Vietnamese
-'okina support added for Hawaiian

Update 1 - June 28, 2017

Here’s what’s new:

• Extensive additions to Cyrillic support, including support for Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian variants.
• A few additional Greek characters.
• Underline thickness now matches weight. (Earlier versions used the same thickness for all weights.)
• hhea vertical metrics are restored to pre-3.000 values. This mostly affected use on iOS.
