About Exo 2
Exo 2 is a technological geometric sans by Natanael Gama, released in 2013 in nine weights with italics — a machined look drawn to survive paragraph settings rather than only headlines. Its curves run rounder than a true superellipse, with subtly squared shoulders, even open spacing, and a weight range wide enough to hold both a masthead and its caption.
Against Eurostile it trades some flattened geometry for legibility, delivering that sleek machined mood in text where Eurostile itself grows uncomfortable. For Porsche Next it is the closest free match available: the subtly squared curves and enormous weight range land near the same engineered, precision-machined character. Use it when a project needs the technical register across an entire system — interfaces, spec sheets, product pages, and the body copy running underneath the headlines.

Exo 2 is also a free alternative to…
- Avengeance Heroic → Natanael Gama's geometric technological family runs from Thin to Black with matching italics, so its heaviest cuts deliver the chunky, futuristic poster look Avengeance aims for. Exo 2 has rounder corners and a full lowercase, making it more versatile but less monumental than an all-caps logo face.
- Eurostile → A technological geometric sans in nine weights with italics; its curves are rounder than Eurostile's superellipses, but it delivers the same sleek, machined mood while remaining genuinely readable in paragraphs.
- Porsche Next → A technological geometric sans with subtly squared curves and a huge weight range — the closest free match for Porsche Next's engineered, precision-machined character.
- Thicker → A geometric sans with a futuristic flavour and a full nine-weight range plus italics, so it can span the same display-to-text usage Thicker is sold for. Its curves are rounder and more tapered than Thicker's squared forms, which makes it feel sleeker and less brutal at heavy weights.
Display + body that work together
The shape of a working week
The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.
A grammar of empty space
Two thousand years of letterforms boil down to a handful of decisions — width, weight, proportion. Pick a pair you trust, and let the rest take care of itself.
