## About Exo 2

Exo 2 is a geometric sans serif that redraws the earlier Exo from scratch. The official notes say the aim was a technological, futuristic feeling in an elegant design, with a more organic look than Exo so that it performs better at small sizes and in long texts. In the specimen the round letters are built on rounded rectangles, some strokes end in angled cuts, and the lowercase is tall and open. The family has nine weights, Thin 100 to Black 900, each with a true italic, for 18 styles; since March 2020 it has been a variable font with a weight axis from 100 to 900. Its 1,033 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Vietnamese. Natanael Gama is the designer, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Technology and gaming brands**: Rounded-rectangle letters carry the futuristic tone the design set out to convey.
- **Dashboards and app interfaces**: The redrawing aimed at small sizes, so labels and readouts stay clear while keeping the technical look.
- **Longer product copy**: The notes describe the forms as more organic than Exo, which makes paragraphs less tiring than in the original.
- **Russian-language interfaces**: Cyrillic is included here, which the original Exo does not offer.
- **Titles and trailers**: Black 900 and its italic give short titles speed and mass.

## Things to know

- **Different from Exo**: Exo 2 is a separate family, not an update; the two have different outlines and different glyph sets.
- **True italics**: The italics are drawn styles rather than slanted romans, one for each of the nine weights.
- **No Greek**: Cyrillic and Vietnamese are covered, but Greek is not.
