Proxima Nova Regular | Bold Italic

Mark Simonson can be thanked for the renowned typeface Proxima Nova. The typeface was designed with the intention of combining modern proportions with a geometric appearance. The first version of this typeface was known as Proxima Sans. Proxima Sans had its first public debut in a Star Wars packaging project Simonson worked on in 1994. This typeface was incomplete in its first debut — lacking ligatures, finalized kerning — but Simonson went to print with the typeface anyway. Proxima Sans turned into Proxima Nova in 2005. Since its debut, this typeface has been used commercially all across the web and all across the world.

New Kansas Bold

The New Kansas typeface was created by Miles Newlyn in 2004. Newlyn drew inspiration from the typeface Copper Black. This font was designed as a display font and intended to be used for decorative purposes. Coined New Kansas to pay homage to Copper Black's designer Oz Copper, the typeface name plays off of the beloved film setting in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. New Kansas serves as a revival typeface for Copper Black as the typeface is more fleshed out, equipped with more weights, and overall more modern than Copper Black.
