About Encode Sans Semi Expanded

Encode Sans Semi Expanded is a sans serif family whose letters are drawn a little wider than normal. It is one of five width families in the Encode Sans superfamily; the official notes list Normal, Condensed, Semi Condensed and Expanded as the others, each with nine weights. Impallari Type, a foundry in Rosario, Argentina, leads the project, whose first designs came from Pablo Impallari and Andres Torresi; the designer credits also include Jacques Le Bailly. In the specimen the letters are open and even: a two-storey a, a single-storey g, a straight-legged R, and round shapes with room inside, which the extra width makes more spacious still. Weights run from a hairline Thin 100 to a compact Black 900. The nine files are static fonts with 1,200 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. There are no italics in this family.

Where Encode Sans Semi Expanded works

Headings that need to fill width

Wider letters let a short heading span a column without increasing the size.

Dashboards and settings screens

Open counters and nine weights separate titles, labels and values in an interface.

Body text with air

The spacious letter shapes of Regular and Light give paragraphs an open texture.

Width systems across a brand

Four sibling width families allow condensed tables and wide titles in one visual language.
