Released as Proxima Nova in 2005, as a revision and expansion of Proxima Sans (FontHaus, six styles, 1994). The idea was to combine the roundness of geometric sans serifs like Futura with the proportions of modern grotesques like Helvetica.

See Proxima Nova Condensed for Condensed and Extra Condensed styles. A version in variable font format was released in 2021 as Proxima Vara. Wide and Extra Wide styles were added in 2023.
