Geometric sans with a brutalist alter ego
Widescreen is a geometric sans-serif variable font designed by Matt Burvill at Dalton Maag in 2021. It appears conventional at its default setting but reaches a brutalist, ultra-wide extreme at the far end of its Width axis. A Mixed axis enables blending between normal and ultra-wide states, while the Weight axis adds further distortion. The family covers Latin script across more than 800 languages.
