Milestone 2014: Taz Wide and Taz Extended complement the Taz family. 10 weights each with 812 glyphs including Vietnamese (!), stylistic alternates, and 8 figure sets. Like all Taz fonts, they have square dots and punctuation marks, which can be switched to rounded versions for a softer look. Taz Wide has a generous width and saves vertical space. Taz Extended, as one of the widest fonts on the market, makes a vigorous impression and is ideally suited for contemporary editorial design, striking art and advertising..
