About
Metroflex Wide draws on the rational geometry of Univers, Futura, Steile Futura and DIN, channelling the machine-age visual language of Lang's Metropolis into a practical type system. Ten styles span five weights from Light to Heavy, each paired with an oblique. It sits alongside Metroflex Narrow and Metroflex Uni as part of a wider type family.
Classification
A geometric sans-serif with industrial character, drawing on the rational structures of Univers, Futura and DIN. The wide proportions and machine-like construction place it firmly in the geometric sans tradition.
