Its linear nature suggests modern architecture, with an appeal both technical and functional. A decade after Microgramma, Novarese resolved this limitation with his design of Eurostile, which added lowercase letters, a bold condensed variant, and an ultra narrow design he called Eurostile Compact, for a total of seven fonts.Įurostile is a popular font, particularly suitable for headings and signs. Microgramma was a titling font with only uppercase letters, which came with a variety of weights.
Novarese developed Eurostile to succeed the similar Microgramma, which he had helped design. Novarese created 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.
