Eurostile Next is Linotype’s redrawn and expanded version of Aldo Novarese’s 1962 design. This new version refers back to the original metal types and to its mid-century modern aesthetic of squarish characters and subtle curves. Eurostile Next brings back the gentle curves, which were lost in other digital versions, therefore regaining the spirit of the original design and its somewhat softer demeanor. The family has been greatly expanded, now consisting of five different weights: ultra light, light, regular, semibold, and bold. Along with the regular width, all weights also have extended and condensed versions. Stylistically, Eurostile Next is well suited for designs in the fashion of the 50's and 60's, yet it still has a remarkably new and contemporary feeling. Its numerous variations and typographic features are invaluable for projects ranging from extensive corporate branding to one-off posters and from large signage to small print text.

As Akira Kobayashi, Linotype’s Type Director, began to study the Eurostile fonts, he found several design flaws and inconsistencies imposed by metal typefounding and perpetuated in the succeeding phototype and digital renditions of the design. Furthermore, when Eurostile was first made into digital fonts, the technicians responsible did a poor job of translating Novarese’s original shapes, like the super curve. The most basic comparison of the old digital Eurostile and the new Eurostile Next can be seen in Kobayashi’s treatment of Novarese’s curves. Additionally, the stroke weight difference between the upper and lowercase letters is less drastic than in the previous digital Eurostile fonts, allowing for more harmonious strings of text.
