It is particularly popular in science fiction artwork and media set or produced in the 1960s and '70s, alongside other graphic design use.

Eurostile and its antecedent Microgramma had a near-monopoly on science fiction typefaces through the end of the 20th century, before Ray Larabie, seeing an opening in the market, began designing more modern computer fonts for the genre and distributed them through freeware.

Eurostile Next is an optically rescaled and redesigned version of the original font family, designed by Linotype Type Director Akira Kobayashi.

[3][4][5] Redesigned features include restoring the super curve lost in the previous film and digital versions, reduced stroke weight difference between the upper and lowercase letters, type-sensitive accents and letterlike symbols (ç, É, @, €).

OpenType features include small caps, tabular and proportional figures, superior and inferior numerals, diagonal fractions, and ordinals.

In the URW version, there are also Greek, Cyrillic, subscript and superscript, box drawing characters.

[7] Michroma is a free and open source digital adaptation created by Vernon Adams, based on the extended forms of Eurostile and its predecessor Microgramma.

All of the vehicles and clothing bearing the logo of the series' secret organisation SHADO used the font, in addition to the main titles.

Eurostile Extended Bold was used in the logo and inter-title sequence of Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh (alongside the regular variant, specifically on the "DRAKE" and "JOSH" scrolling text in the background), and was used in titles and set backdrops for Channel 4's early 90s comedy series Vic Reeves Big Night Out.

Type expert Dave Addey noted: "Indeed, Eurostile is such a quick way to establish a timeframe that whenever I see it in real life – which happens quite a lot in my adopted home of California – I assume I’ve been transported to some futuristic dystopia, where a local care center feels more like a sinister government facility for scientific experimentation.

The 2021 Netflix biography on the American fashion designer Halston uses Eurostile Extended for the main logo and interstitial placements.

Eurostile can be found in several video games such as Homeworld, Ratchet and Clank, Ridge Racer, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tekken, Splinter Cell, Driv3r, Elite Dangerous, and the StarCraft series.

Eurostile, particularly Eurostile Bold Extended, is used extensively in science fiction movies, among them 2001: A Space Odyssey (especially for HAL 9000)[12] Jetsons: The Movie, Moon, Back to the Future, Starship Troopers, The Andromeda Strain and Total Recall.

The retail version was authorized by Toshiba Europe GmbH to URW, where Eurostile Black OT was sold.

[15] Eurostile Extended Bold is used in the GEICO, Nokia, New Flyer, Casio and Roland Corporation JUNO logos.

The bold and extended forms of Eurostile and Microgramma are frequently used for name and address signage on buildings.
