About
Metafora Sans is a display sans-serif designed by Hendra Maulia and released through Dirty Line Studio in 2020. The family covers 13 weights, from Thin to Black, with the heavier end branching into expanded widths up to Ultra Expanded – 26 styles in total once obliques are counted, plus a variable font. Extended Latin support makes it viable across Western European languages. It sits squarely in a crowded category of urbanist display sans families, but the breadth of the width axis gives it genuine practical range for branding and headline work.
Classification
Contemporary display sans-serif with geometric construction. The weight range runs from Thin to Black, with the heavier cuts extending across width variants from standard through to Ultra Expanded. Oblique styles accompany every weight. Variable font support is included. The overall character is clean and neutral with a slight urbanist inflection at the wider, heavier extremes.
