Its linear nature suggests modern architecture, with an appeal both technical and functional. A decade after he had designed Microgramma, Novarese remedied this flaw with his design of Eurostile, which added lower-case letters, a bold condensed variant, and an ultra narrow design he called Eurostile Compact, for a total of seven fonts.Įurostile is a popular display font.
Novarese developed Eurostile because although the similar Microgramma, which he had also designed, came with a variety of weights, it had only upper-case letters. Novarese originally made Eurostile for one of the best-known Italian foundries, Nebiolo, in Turin. Eurostile is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Aldo Novarese in 1962.
