Proxima Vara is a variable font version of the Proxima Nova type family. Encapsulated in a single font file, it contains all the weights and styles of Proxima Nova—plus any intermediate style along three dimensions: weight, width, and slant. This means that you can have the volume or thickness you desire without positive journalist biases such as compressing, elongating, or inclining, which often augments unrealistic hair images. However, if you want a typeface that is a little more daring than the regular version but still a little condensed, then with the help of Proxima Vara, it can be made.
Proxima Vara Font contains all the options present in Proxima Nova, including extra characters, true Small Caps, old-style numbering, split fractions, and checkmarks of most Latin-based alphabets, in addition to Greek and Cyrillic scripts.
Variable fonts function efficiently in up-to-date web browsers, where you have the opportunity to use many more styles of Proxima Vara in a web page than with Proxima Nova. Because the whole family is in one font file, it loads at around the speed of four Proxima Nova styles. However, you are not limited to this; instead, you can also apply subsetting of your site if you want faster page loading.
In the uses of text print, Proxima Vara has unlimited alternative features to allow the customization of weight, width, as well as slant without limitations.

Is Proxima Vara Font really free?
The download costs nothing and needs no account. What you may do with the font afterwards is set by its author: the license file travels inside the archive, and it is the only document that decides whether a commercial project is covered.
How do I install it on Windows or a Mac?
Three steps, no extra software:
- Download the ZIP and extract it (double-click on Mac, right-click → Extract on Windows).
- Open the .ttf or .otf file and click Install / Install Font.
- Restart the app you want to use it in — the font is now available system-wide.
What kind of work does Proxima Vara Font suit?
It sits in the Font Family group and reads as condensed, font family, proxima, typeface. That makes it a candidate wherever those qualities help: headings, packaging, social graphics and brand work. Set it at the size you plan to use before deciding.
