Lining and old style figures (proportional and tabular)* Matching small caps for all weights and widths* Matching italics for all weights and widths 3 widths: Normal, Condensed, and Extra Condensed 8 weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Extrabold, and Black The result is a hybrid combining humanistic proportions with a somewhat geometric appearance. Stylistically, Proxima Nova straddles the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk. Each width consists of 16 fonts-eight weights with matching italics. There are three widths: Proxima Nova, Proxima Nova Condensed, and Proxima Nova Extra Condensed. The original six fonts (three weights with italics) have been expanded to 48 full-featured OpenType fonts. The Proxima Nova family is a complete reworking of Proxima Sans (1994).
For a current list of apps that support variable fonts, see Support for variable fonts will increase over time, but please check whether the apps you want to use offer support before buying.
Unfortunately, Microsoft Office doesn't support variable fonts at all yet, although support is promised. It has partial support in Apple iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers).
Support in desktop apps include Sketch, Corel Draw, and Adobe Creative Cloud apps such as InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. While it works great in all the major web browsers, it is not fully supported in many desktop apps yet. Important: Variable font technology is fairly new. And, of course, you can use subsetting for even faster page loads.įor print applications, Proxima Vara gives you unlimited flexibility to tune weight, width, and slant to fit your exact needs. The complete family is contained in a single font file, so loads as quickly as about four styles of Proxima Nova. Variable fonts work in modern web browsers, which is great because it allows you to use many more styles of Proxima Vara on a web page than you can with Proxima Nova. Proxima Vara contains all of the characters and features in Proxima Nova such as alternate characters, true small caps, old style figures, arbitrary fractions, and support for most Latin-based languages, Greek, and Cyrillic.
If you want something that's a little bolder than Regular, and little bit more condensed, you can get it. In a single font file, it contains all the weights and styles of Proxima Nova-plus any style between them along any of three dimensions (weight, width, and slant) without the distortion that comes with artificial manipulation such as squeezing, stretching, or slanting. Proxima Vara is a variable version of the Proxima Nova type family.
