About the font

Michroma is a wide sans with rounded-square shapes — the “space age” style of the 1960s. The genre began with Microgramma by Aldo Novarese and Alessandro Butti (1952), and its best-known member is Novarese’s Eurostile. Michroma is Vernon Adams’s reworking of the idea.

It is built for screens: character widths and stem weights are tuned so the letters stay crisp without manual hinting. There is a single Regular style, so Michroma works best in headlines, logos and short lines rather than long text.
