A skeletal, open-countered display sans with a strong art deco personality that commands attention at large sizes.

About

Expletus Sans takes a highly unconventional approach to letterform construction, stripping strokes back to create an almost wireframe-like aesthetic. Its geometric underpinning and open architecture make it well suited to fashion branding, editorial headlines, and poster work where a sense of lightness and elegance is required. The range of weights from Regular to Bold offers some flexibility, though this remains fundamentally a display typeface.

Classification

Expletus Sans features an unusual open, airy construction with letters that appear almost skeletal, using minimal strokes and generous counter spaces. The design has a distinctive art deco-inflected geometry that sets it apart from conventional display sans-serifs.
