Expo Sans™ Dotscreen
Type Culture · 2004
A single-weight dotscreen display font derived from Expo Sans Pro, rendered in clean PostScript outlines so it scales without degradation to exhibition or signage sizes.
About
Originally conceived in 1997 as an experimental alphabet for posters and an exhibition, Expo Sans Dotscreen was developed into a full OpenType font in 2004. Every glyph is hand-drawn in PostScript outlines rather than auto-traced, meaning the halftone dot pattern holds up under extreme enlargement — a deliberate advantage for exhibition designers and signmakers. The font includes four figure variants via OpenType features, and its clean construction allows users to add distortion effects from a reliable starting point rather than working with pre-degraded artwork.
Classification
A dotscreen-patterned display typeface derived from Expo Sans Pro, rendered with halftone-style texture; firmly in the display category as its decorative treatment renders it unsuitable for text use.
