Proxima Sera specimen from Mark Simonson

A nine-weight serif built to answer fifteen years of designers asking what serif pairs with Proxima Nova, standing on its own as well as alongside it.

About

Proxima Sera blends old-style and modern serif characteristics into a clean, highly readable design, matched in proportion and weight range to Proxima Nova but capable of standing alone. Its even colour and large x-height suit it to text, while the Thin and Black ends of its range carry enough warmth for headlines and posters.

Classification

A serif designed as Proxima Nova's text-serif pairing, blending old-style and modern serif traits, so it's classed serif rather than slab or display.
