In the mid-‘80s, Petr van Blokland designed Proforma for Purup, a leading supplier of forms systems. Oldstyle structure provides essential copyfit and legibility, leading ATypI to award Petr the Charles Peignot prize for distinguished typographic achievement.

In 1995, Proforma was the only typeface nominated for the Rotterdam Design Award. With matching sans Productus, Proforma promises distinction in corporate design.

Among other uses, Proforma is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.
