A 1968 Nebiolo typeface revived across five optical sizes
David Jonathan Ross revived Nebiolo's 1968 sans-serif typeface, extending it into an optical-size system spanning five sizes from Micro (sub-8pt) to Banner (72pt and above). The family comprises 25 styles plus a variable font, each including Helvetica-style alternates—a nod to Forma's original positioning as a Helvetica counterpart. Cyrillic was drawn by Jovana Jocić.

- Each style ships with a set of Helvetica-style alternates, acknowledging the typeface's original 1968 competitive positioning against Helvetica.
- Jovana Jocić contributed the Cyrillic drawings.
