About
Designed by Andriy Konstantynov and first released in 2014, Proba Pro pairs geometric construction with prominent ascenders and descenders that lend it an open, readable quality at text sizes. The family ships with a thorough OpenType feature set including small caps, four sets of figures, ligatures, superiors and inferiors, fractions and language-specific alternates for Romanian, Catalan and Turkish. Fourteen styles in total cover a broad range of Latin-based and major Cyrillic languages.
Classification
Geometric sans-serif construction with a lowered x-height and prominent ascenders and descenders, tempered by a subtle humanist influence in the letterforms. The combination places it firmly in the geometric tradition while softening its rigidity.
