Eras is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Albert Boton (b. April 17, 1932, Paris) and Albert Hollenstein (b. Lucerne, 1930; d. 1974), and released by the International Typeface Corporation (ITC) in 1976. A distinct and curious feature of Eras is its slight, 3-degree right tilt. Eras follows ITC's formulary of increased x-height, and multiple weights from light to ultra bold. Eras is further distinct for its open bowls on the characters a, P, R, 6, and 9. Eras is licensed by the Linotype type foundry.

It is widely used as TIM corporate typeface.
