Eurostile is a variation of Microgramma, a sans serif typeface designed by Aldo Novarese and Alessandro Butti in 1952.
Novarese and Butti made Microgramma for the best known of the Italian foundries, Nebiolo, in Turin. Microgramma came with a variety of weights and widths, which boosted its immediate popularity, but the original version of Microgramma had only upper-case letters. A decade later, Novarese designed Eurostile, adding a lower-case alphabet and some additional weights, such as Compact.
