About Encode Sans Expanded

Encode Sans Expanded is a sans serif family with broad letters and open spacing. It is one of five widths in the Encode Sans superfamily, alongside Condensed, Semi Condensed, Normal and Semi Expanded, and each width has the same nine weights. The specimen shows low-contrast strokes, wide round bowls, open terminals on a, c, e and s, and a Thin so fine that it reads as a line drawing, while Black fills the letters almost solid. The nine upright styles, Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black, are supplied as separate static files; there are no italics. Each font has 1,200 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The project is led by Impallari Type of Rosario, Argentina, and the official notes say the original design was by Pablo Impallari and Andres Torresi.

Where Encode Sans Expanded works

Wide headlines and titles

Expanded proportions give a short heading presence across a page without resorting to capitals.

Navigation and dashboard labels

Open terminals and broad letters keep short labels clear at small sizes on screens.

Brand systems with several widths

The matching Condensed to Expanded widths let a brand set tight tables and airy headings in one design.

Text in light and dark themes

Nine weights make it possible to pick a slightly heavier or lighter cut to keep text even on different backgrounds.

Multilingual sites

The 1,200 glyphs carry accents for Central European languages, Turkish and Vietnamese at every weight.

Things to know

Static files only

This width ships as nine separate fonts. Encode Sans Expanded is not a variable font.

No italics

All nine styles are upright.

Takes more room per line

The letters are wider than in the Normal width of the superfamily, so the same text needs more horizontal space.
