Proforma Classic An original Landmark

Originally released by Font Bureau in the early 1990s, Proforma was a groundbreaking typeface that set new standards for digital text typography. Designed for clarity and efficiency in long-form reading, it combines classical proportions with a contemporary sensibility, balancing robust structure and subtle detail. Its carefully engineered spacing and intelligent use of contrast made it a favorite among typographers for editorial, corporate, and institutional use. Proforma remains a milestone in type design—timeless, readable, and remarkably forward-thinking.
