This typeface was commissioned by Panasonic via their agency Massive Sydney for use in the in-flight entertainment systems of jet aircraft. They required a modern sans-serif typeface which, due to it's global reach, was required to cover a wide variety of languages including Central European and Cyrillic (for example, Russian and Ukranian).

During production, Aero Sans was tested for legibility and performance on the aircraft's systems. Aero Sans contains three weights: Light, Medium and Bold.
