Extenda
Zetafonts · Francesco Canovaro, Andrea Tartarelli, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Mario De Libero · 2018
A width-axis sans-serif spanning eleven steps from ultra-condensed to ultra-wide, built for display headlines and logo work across Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
About
Rather than varying weight, Extenda organises its 67-plus styles along a width axis, running from the hairline-thin Pica through to the sprawling Yotta, with italic and backslant cuts at each step. The XS subfamily introduces wider counter spaces and open tracking for improved legibility at the compact end, while the Extendable style uses OpenType logic to increment each letter's width automatically, producing a dynamic visual rhythm. Variable font support, small caps, old-style figures and multiple stylistic sets round out a family aimed squarely at editorial display and identity work.
Classification
A sans-serif designed explicitly for display use, with its primary axis being width rather than weight, spanning eleven steps from ultra-condensed to ultra-wide. The Extendable variant and XS subfamily reinforce its display-first, experimental character.
