A number of digitisations have been released based on some styles of the family.[16][17] Monotype's 1920s Grotesque 215 and 216 series, created for their hot metal typesetting system, were also reportedly loosely based on it;[18] the standard Windows typeface Arial is influenced by them.[19][20]
In 2007, David Berlow published the "Vonness" typeface, closely based on the Venus typeface.[21]
Eric Olson designed the Coordinates typeface, a monospaced sans-serif typeface based on the Venus typeface.[22]
Parachute Type Foundry designed the PF Grand Gothik Variable typeface, a blend of Venus and Interstate, with OpenType features.[23][24]
