Elian Wide Capitals

A geometric sans-serif with the following characteristics:

  • vertical-aligned (as much as possible) small letters
  • horizontally-aligned large letters
  • x height of half of ascender height

It does not have numerals, as numerals were never specified in C.C. Elian's original document.

Honestly, having the ascender and descender be a full x-height, and having the the stroke widths so thin, probably means that this is a display font and not a general body font. Oh well.
