Open Extended Speaks Vietnamese

Taking inspiration from Geometric Sans while staying true to its Grotesque roots, Only Extended, designed by Emmanuel Rey and Quentin Schmerbe, brings something new to the Swiss aesthetics. With its monospace design, offbeat letter proportions, and super shorts ascenders and descenders, Only Extended is unconventional yet functional and fresh yet flexible. Only Extended supports for languages as diverse as Vietnamese, in which its acute, grave, and hook above stack to the right of its circumflex. I had the pleasure of working with Swiss Typefaces designers on Vietnamese diacritics for Open Extended.
