Almost every graphic student has at one time or another tried their hand at a geometrical type. Few have made anything remotely memorable. But in the early 1950s, 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 enhanced its immediate popularity. But the original version of Microgramma had only caps. So, a decade later, Aldo Novarese designed Eurostile, adding a lower-case alphabet and some additional weights, like Compact. What you get here is the starter kit.

Eurostile is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Aldo Novarese in 1962. Novarese created Eurostile for Nebiolo, an Italian foundry in Turin.

A decade after Novarese's involvement with Microgramma, a similar font with only uppercase letters in a variety of weights, Novarese designed Eurostile as a successor. Eurostile added lowercase letters, a bold condensed variant, and an ultra narrow design he called Eurostile Compact, for a total of seven fonts.
