About
A variable sans by Matt Burvill that hides a brutalist alter ego inside a polite geometric. Twenty-seven styles spread across three widths (Normal, Extended and UltraExtended) at nine weights from Hairline to Black, with a Mixed axis that lets letters distort across the Width range so a single word can move from upright geometric to ultra-wide brutalism. Reach for it on covers, posters, identity work and campaigns that want typographic transformation as part of the message.
Classification
Dalton Maag describe Widescreen as a seemingly normal geometric sans concealing an alter ego of an ultra-wide, brutalist design at the opposite end of its variable Width axis, with Weight and Mixed axes that allow maximum distortion mixing normal and ultra-wide.
