About Audiowide

Audiowide is a display sans serif in a futuristic, technology-flavoured style. Every letter is built from a tube-like stroke of constant thickness that bends through rounded corners, and the proportions are broad: in the specimen the capitals are nearly as wide as they are tall. Several shapes are simplified, such as an A with a flat, rounded top and no pointed apex, a Y and y drawn with a straight stem, and a zero cut by a diagonal slash. The lowercase sits high, close to the capital height. Audiowide comes in a single Regular style with 369 glyphs and is not a variable font. Brian J. Bonislawsky designed it for Astigmatic, and it is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 with “Audiowide” as a Reserved Font Name. Character sets cover Latin and Latin Extended.

Where Audiowide works

Technology and gaming logos

The tubular strokes and wide stance give a single word a machine-made look without extra effects.

Event and music posters

Broad capitals fill a poster width with few letters, which suits short titles and dates.

Game menus and HUD headings

The slashed zero and even stroke read cleanly as short labels over dark or busy backgrounds.

Video titles and stream overlays

One heavy-enough Regular weight works as a title card when set large.

Product names on devices

Rounded corners echo the shapes of hardware and app icons in short model names.

Things to know

One style

Audiowide has only Regular 400. There is no bold, light or italic.

The letters are wide

A line in Audiowide takes more horizontal room than the same words in a normal-width sans, so long titles need a smaller size.

Romanian is not fully covered

Latin and Latin Extended are included, but the letters for Romanian are incomplete.
