30 Years in the Making

Mark Simonson set out in 1981 to design a typeface with the general proportions and stroke contrast of Helvetica or Akzidenz-Grotesk, but with construction principles and details borrowed variously from Futura, Kabel, the ATF gothics (Copperplate Gothic, News Gothic, Franklin Gothic, etc.) and the U.S. Federal Highway signage typeface.

The result was a hybrid; a face combining modern, even-width proportions with a somewhat geometric appearance. It was first released through FontHaus in 1994 as Proxima Sans, a family of six fonts - three weights with matching italics. The name Proxima Sans was chosen to acknowledge that it was near other sans serifs in design and also because the letters in the name displayed some of the more identifiable characteristics of the design.
