Proxima Nova (2005) bridges the gap between typefaces like Futura and Akzidenz Grotesk. The result is a hybrid that combines modern proportions with a geometric appearance. I originally released it in 1994 as Proxima Sans (now discontinued) with a basic character set in three weights (Regular, Medium, and Black) with italics. I expanded the original six fonts into a full-featured and versatile family of 42 fonts (seven weights in three widths with italics).
I’ve continually updated and expanded Proxima Nova since 2005, more than doubling the character set from 700 in its initial release to 1453 characters in the latest version. Additions have included support for Greek, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese, numerous currency symbols, as well as a Medium weight for all three widths and italics, bringing the total number of fonts in the family to 48.
Since the mid-2010s, Proxima Nova has become the most popular commercial (paid) font on the web, used on thousands of websites around the world.

Montserrat
Old posters and signs in Montserrat territory inspired Julieta Ulanovsky to create this. Observe the comparison of Proxima Nova and Montserrat in the below screen capture.
It looks like a twin of Mark’s creation.
Lato
Looks a bit smaller than you expect from a font, Lato appears to be a neat alternative to Proxima Nova. Łukasz Dziedzic started working on a cool font project in 2010, as a result of which Lato came out. I have used this font on this website before with some font-size adjustments. It looked pretty good.
Nunito Sans
Nunito Sans is my kind of font and I find it pretty neat these days. It may not be a perfect alternative to Proxima Nova if observed closely, but it gives and impression like it is. Jacques Le Bailly extended Vernon Adams‘s Nunito and came up with 7-weight sans version of it.

As a bonus, Raleway looks more like a display font and is created by different font designers. Matt McInerney created it as a single-weight thin font. Later on it is extended by Pablo, Rodrigo, and Igino for a 9-weight typeface.
