About Michroma

Michroma is Vernon Adams's squared, extended display sans, drawn directly in the Microgramma and Eurostile lineage and available free through Google Fonts. Its letterforms are built on superellipses — rectangles with the corners eased into curves — set wide, with flat sides and a technical, mid-century-futurist bearing. There is a single weight, so the family offers no range to work with; the drawing is the whole proposition.

As a substitute for Eurostile it is about as close as Google Fonts gets, particularly for the extended look that made Eurostile a fixture of aerospace, motorsport, and science-fiction titling. Michroma reproduces those proportions and that squared geometry convincingly at size. Treat it as a branding and headline face: one weight and generous widths leave it neither flexible nor economical enough for text, but it holds a logotype or a title card well.

Pairings

Display + body that work together

Pages that earn the read
The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.

A grammar of empty space
A pairing is a relationship: one voice speaks first, the other answers, and the contrast between them sets the tone for the whole page.
