A display typeface for Reality Designers: wide, heavy, chamfered capitals continuing the owner-approved Wide alphabet study, now with figures, symbols, accents, curly quotes, small capitals and a lowercase alternate set. Version 3 replaces the capitals-only v1 trace on the sites.

  • Very wide capitals, 1.5 to 1.9 times as wide as tall: heavy verticals, thin horizontals, tight counters, large chamfers at fixed corners.
  • Lowercase typed letters show capital shapes by default (as v1 did); ss01 gives real lowercase, smcp and c2sc give small capitals.
  • Figures are proportional by default; tnum gives tabular figures, ss02 a plain zero. Zero is slashed.
  • Complete Basic Latin, Latin-1 and Latin Extended-A, Romanian comma-below forms (locl), anchored accents (mark, mkmk, ccmp), combining marks and real curly quotes.
  • Titles and chapter heads at 28 px and up. Below about 20 px the counters close up.
  • Medium is a separate static cut about 19 percent lighter. Line is the Regular outline as a 34-unit line, for large type only.
  • Smooth is the v1 trace of the study that the sites used before v3: capitals A-Z and a few marks only.
  • Procedurally drawn, unhinted, Latin only. Original outlines for Reality Designers; no open licence has been applied.
