Proxima Nova
Proxima Nova is a refined humanist sans-serif that bridges the gap between geometric precision and organic warmth. Designed by Mark Simonson, it features subtly rounded corners, open apertures, and carefully balanced proportions that create exceptional readability at all sizes. The typeface exhibits moderate stroke contrast with slightly condensed letterforms and a generous x-height, while maintaining classical proportions in its uppercase characters. Its distinctive character lies in the gentle humanist touches—such as the slightly angled cuts on letters like 'a' and 'c'—that soften what could otherwise be a purely geometric construction.
