## 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 it 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.
